    To allies with 3D printers,

    Has anyone made replacement fallboard catch parts for Kimball grands? The original plastic part is broken.

    Hi Eugene:

    You can substitute a regular cabinet latch with rollers if you can't find an exact replacement.  They've been manufactured since forever and are still around in any hardware store.

    Take your picture to the local Ace or True Value and show it to the old guy smoking by the propane tanks. He'll find it for you.
