Roland Fantom-S Workstation Keyboard

This unfortunate Fantom-S suffered a fall onstage and ended up virtually unplayable. As the band had a major gig in 3 days' time, sourcing replacement parts from Roland Japan was out of the question. So they went along with my idea of swapping the damaged keys with similar ones from the lower register. However, as one key was broken and two were missing their latches (to keep them from popping up), repairs and mods had to be carried out (super glue and high density foam) before the swap. Here are some pics for you.
