So, I already have two fatar keybeds for my DIY projects, one 4 octaves and one 5, both bought from Doepfer. Unfortunately, none of them have aftertouch which I feel is a need for my big polyphonic - not because I will be able to utilise it myself, but since it feels weird building such a great big machine without it.
I did some googling yesterday and came across a few sources that may or may not be able to supply such a thing, more specifically a Fatar TP/9s 61keys keybed with aftertouch:
New Groove
https://www.newgroove.it/acquista/produttore/fatar/
Italian site, has exactly what I need but not sure if they ship outside of EU.
Synthtaste
https://www.synthtaste.com/en/shop
Sells a kit for the OB-Xa etc that may be used, but is very expensive. Perhaps it is possible to ask for a keybed only.
TechsMechs - Lars Erlandsson
https://techsmechsvintagesynth.com/products/tm-8-oberheim-ob-x-xa-8-keyboard-replacement-kit
Swedish tech that also sells an OB-Xa kit. I have emailed him asking for a keybed only, and whether or not the keybed comes with aftertouch. We'll see.
I found New Groove and TechsMechs through this post: https://modwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=241329
