Hi Ed,
Yeah.... a little... I started in mid January to work on a Rodgers pedalboard that I had purchased to see if I could add second touch. I didn't want to screw up the one on the 340 and if this didn't work I could always use it in the fireplace.........
Anyway, so far so good, the modification is complete except for installing it and making it work... I have had a couple of other (non-organ) projects that have kept me busy the last month but I hope to get it installed in the next week or two.
I modified it using the same type of arraignment that Robert Morton used. For contacts I used a pair of magnetic reed switched for each pedal. All of the switches are mounted on a board attached to the front of the pedal board which allows the original magnets to actuate the reeds.
Since I use the Artisan MicroMidi system it was simple to mount the encoder on the frame and have a RJ11 telephone type cable as well as a two wire power cable to connect to the console.
It was powered up in the shop and connected to a laptop for testing and all appeared to work well....
I also have bought a pair of the wooden Rodgers keyboards and plan to experiment on those for great second touch.
I have posted the text and pictures in the Dropbox (link below)

If interested and that doesn't work, send me a pm.
Regards
Frank
