CT 460 stuck key

Hi,

 

I have a CT 460 which is all fine except for one key stuck in the 'up' position (see image). It seems the little prongs on the underside of the back key which stop it rising above the others when returning to position after being pressed have slipped above the retainer. Has anyone successfully dismantled one of these keyboards and can give me pointers as how to to fix it? I want to gift it perhaps to an elementary school music dept. and it seems a pity not to do so with it in perfect order.

 

Thank you so much

The plastic hook that keeps the key down has obviously cracked off (happens easily when a keyboard got carried roughly by lifting at the keys).

If you can find the plastic fragment inside the instrument, reglue it with superglue. Else you may try to make a hook of sufficiently firm wire (e.g. stiff (non-wick) copper cable) and hotglue it to the key bottom.
