Actually you need much less than 50 for the lower manual, and some people
only do the upper manual (the foldback kits on EBay assume upper manual
only). I had a T-series spinet that I parted out for (among other things) key
contacts for my L-295, but once I got a full-size console I didn't bother.

I've still got it the manual but I never finished disassembling it. I've also
got an M lower manual somewhere, I picked it up for $25 because I can make
more than that selling foldback kits off of it (-: but I haven't bothered.

<< 2. Wires to connect the notes to the proper contacts. I noticed that the
wires that connect the notes to the connects are very thin. Are these special
wires? >>

If I remember right, it's resistance wire.

<< And what are bussbars? >>

They're the bars that the key contacts touch when depressed. I think they go
to the drawbars, because the key contacts are connected to the TWG. If I also
remember right, L-series spinets have all full-length busbars, so you'll just
need key contacts.

<< I know some of you know excactly what I'm talking about. So let it roll!!!

I know what you're talking about, but I've never done it - just read about
it, and put it on the shelf once I got my now-departed E-112 console.
