Nice work! Couple of questions: 1. What are you soldering/measuring on the backside of the pc board? Is there something that needs to be changed during a restore project? 2. Where do you get the yarn replacement? is that a gel substance? Looks like less fuss than working with yarn.... 3. What rubber bushings did you use? They look like standard Pratt-Read bushings, aka MOOG, Oberheim, etc replacement parts..? Again, super work, sounds brilliant.
Thanks! 1. The zener diode looks burnt to black. I guess previous owner uses wrong or broken power adapter with it. That meant I've got to check all the components at the preamp just before power it up. Luckily both inductors and matching transformer was OK. Zener, one transistor at the voltage regulator and slightly out of spec electrolytic been replaced. 2. Yarn replacement is a vintagevibe.com Clavigel Kit. That's easy to install and works fine. 3. The rubber bushings are also from vintagevibe.com. I think it's designed for a clavinet and looks slightly different than Pratt-Read for a vintage synths.
I'm currently restoring mt Clavinet D6. The wood on the front panel is heavily damaged. Waxing it doesn't help. Do you have any experience with sanding the front wood panel? As far as I know it is not made of wood but merely a some kind of laminate.
I notice that you've gone w/ Clavigel rather than the Yarn from the D'addario Clavinet String Set (it works too) because this makes restringing a Breeze.
I don't know anything about any of this stuff. But I saw the green strip and thought, "That looks modern." I wasn't going to bother looking it up because I wouldn't know where to begin. But I read your comment and thought, "Maybe 'Clavigel' is that green strip." So for my own edification, thanks for your comment! The product listing even answered my bonus question: yes, those metal discs are magnets to hold it in place. I feel awfully accomplished tonight, and I barely did any of the work.
@@TheMazo02 Not sure. My guess if you have just one key at the lower volume, the corresponding string is laying at the space BETWEEN the magnet pieces of the pickups. Check that out first.
I found a non functional D6 at a local thrift shop, but I'm in Europe and buying parts from the US is just too expensive. And that's too bad as I'd love a real Clavi...
@@MiregalForges yeah I understand that. But readimg the title it seems like he shows you how to fully restore your clav in 10 min. Should of said something like "fully restore D6 clav, 10 min time lapse"
@@justinlalugski2083 I agree it is confusing, but I doubt he was trying to mislead anyone... It's not like I'd expect anyone to completely restore a Clavinet in 10 minutes anyway. I wouldn't even expect anyone to restore a bucket that quickly...
I wanted to make my own home made clavinet but after seeing this I think I will stay with my keyboard until I save enough for the real thing lol
Oh gosh. I had this model in 1979 to 85. Was constantly in touch with Hohner for parts.
Having restrung a 1920’s player piano, I approve of this video. Excellent job!
Thanks!
I would have thought that a player piano could restore itself. I guess there isn’t a roll for that.
Quality! Nice to see the Vintage Vibe restoration kit in action ☺️
Thanks! That's Clavigel kit. You can use it instead the regular yarn.

Концовка достойная! Молодцы!!!
omfg! That was super cool!!! The real deal, fully freshened! So phresch! 😁
Nice work!
Thanks! :)
Красота!
Great job!
Thanks!
That was entertaining!
Crippled craic great tune
It is! The first use of clavinet with a wah-wah pedal was a tune "Up On Cripple Creek" by The Band :)
These 10 minutes in fast camera is the equivalent of 10 days and 10 hours in normal time, right? Nice and hard job ... congrats
Close to it... Thanks! :)
Magnificent work.

It's an Electric Clavichord

I have no experience with a wooden D6 but the bottom of mine IS laminate. I guess the wooden front panel is the same. Good luck with a restoration!

@@tom_something The Clavinet is actually a Clavichord w/ Pickups in it
Hi Dmitri, have you tried restoring the laminate?
Not really... just removed the old tolex, polishing it and wrap it with a new one...
where I can buy parts for my clavinete d6? thank you
I've bought parts for mine at www.vintagevibe.com/
четко
What do to when one key has lower volume? Should I take the rubber a little bit out ?
What rubber are you talking about?
@@dkrasivov that rubber part which touches the string when hit
@@TheMazo02 Not sure. My guess if you have just one key at the lower volume, the corresponding string is laying at the space BETWEEN the magnet pieces of the pickups. Check that out first.
Where did you get your clavinet? theyre impossible to find online
I've been lucky to get it from a friend of mine long ago. Yes it's hard to find but I see them sometimes on the eBay.
www.ebay.com/itm/HOHNER-CLAVINET-PIANET-DUO/124566703999?hash=item1d00c10f7f:g:-zsAAOSwTMhf3fFm Needs to be repaired...
@unarmed blackman The good old days... My other video about one of those collections BTW ruclips.net/video/I6v11qYXrjc/видео.html
@unarmed blackman unfortunate that i'm too young to have even tried to buy a clav as a fetus
Can you do mine next?
No problem! My e-mail in a channel description.
I'm afraid of asking the price of the set of new strings
It's around 100$ as I remember
I found a non functional D6 at a local thrift shop, but I'm in Europe and buying parts from the US is just too expensive.
And that's too bad as I'd love a real Clavi...
What parts you need? Try www.ep-service.nl/hohner-clavinet-parts I believe they are in Netherlands.
Or maybe www.electrickeys.co.uk/collections/hohner-clavinet-action-parts
what kind of rotary tool are you using? Dremel sucks.
Oh! That's cheap equivalent of Dremel. PG www.pgmini.it/ Just enough for the job.
Млоток!
ОХРЕНЕТЬ.
