On a related note (pun intended) I once had a problem with one of these synths and its rubber contact strip. I would hit certain keys then hear a neighbor note or the same note an octave away. I thought there was a short in the scanning circuitry (I had resoldered some joints that appeared weak earlier by a ribbon connector for the keybed.)

Turns out the rubber contact strip was installed inverted. I think this one didn't have notches to make sure it was oriented correctly. After flipping it, notes sounded as expected.
