She bought an old piano online just like the one she was taught to play on decades ago. It was too good of a deal to pass up. The problem was; after buying it , travelling to pick it up and bringing it home… it didn’t work. A handful of keys didn’t make noise, the speaker was distorted, the cover was stuck in the open position. She felt took. I spent the last couple of days figuring out how to fix it. I cleaned the rubber contact strip, reapplied conductive paint to the contacts. I unstuck the keys, cleaned and reassembled the works. The fuzzy speaker issue is t actually the speakers - it’s the capacitors on the amp board. Fortunately I had some amplified studio monitors to use in place of the tired output components It’s working fine - it sounds fantastic. My sweetie is gonna love playing her piano. Proof that sometimes you just gotta fix things. #repair #piano #diy #fix
