From the web:

Sometime in 1974, CBS Musical Instruments decided to drop the Fender name from the Rhodes line of products, in order to establish Rhodes as its own brand. This allowed music stores that were not Fender dealers to carry Rhodes pianos, without an obligation to stock other CBS products. As was common throughout the piano's production history, the new "Rhodes" logos and serial plates were introduced as they became available to the factory, making the official transition date difficult to pinpoint. Aside from the branding, nothing really changed about the piano's construction during 1975.

Throughout the late 70's the Rhodes Mark I Stage Piano and Suitcase Piano continued to be produced in 73- and 88-key configurations, with the Suitcase Piano continuing to use the FR7054 80W Peterson amplifier until 1977. The Piano Bass was still available during this time, though it did not sell nearly as well as the Suitcase and Stage models. As in previous generations, the Piano Bass shared the same appearance and internal components as the full-size pianos.

Design changes began in 1976, with the first being molded all-plastic hammers to replace the half-wood/half-plastic style that had been used since the teardrop hammers were phased out around 1970. The Neoprene hammer tips were replaceable as in the previous generation, but the underside of the hammer cam was completely flat (not curved) and the felt that was normally glued to the key pedestal was placed on the hammer itself. The resulting action was not ideal, and a second generation of plastic hammer combs with the original curved cams and pedestal felts was quickly phased in by 1977. It is unclear whether the 1976 pianos have a higher incidence of tine breakage (i.e. snapping in half with a single strike vs. the "deadening" of tone that typically occurred in Torrington tines over years of use), but this has been a recurring complaint in recent years. It may have been due to a bad generation of tines delivered to the factory, an artifact of the poorly-designed action, or both.

With the new plastic hammers in 1977 came the return of the key pedestal "bump", which was originally found in the Sparkletop teardrop action from the late 1960's. Additionally, a procedure known as the Key Pedestal Modification was later documented by CBS as it became standard in new pianos. Specifically, the pedestal felt was glued on the pedestal block, with a small "bump" of felt added beneath the main felt strip at the point where the hammer cam and the block touched when the key was at rest. The 1979 Service Manual recommended the modification for all pianos with the flat key pedestal, including the 1976 version. The "bump" would ultimately be an integrated part of the plastic-key molds used in the 1981 Mark II models, as well as the wood-key design in the Mark V.

Not a chew toy.
Color: Black & Lake Blue
The inside it a hard plastic, my dog can’t chew it. Plastic on the outside is very durable, my dog likes the noise it makes and will chase it but loses interest fast. I will not buy again.

Intense healing in a convenient jar!
Size: 13.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
A great healing lotion for all over body application. I like the product being in a jar so there is no problem getting the lotion out of a bottle making this a very wise economical choice. A 72 hour intense healing lotion providing a long lasting healing experience. Highly recommended.

The texture is rich but still absorbs nicely into the skin, and a little goes a long way. I NIVEAs
Size: 13.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
deep hydration and works especially well for very dry skin. The formula feels rich and nourishing but still absorbs nicely without feeling greasy. After applying it, my skin feels soft, smooth, and comfortable for hours. I also love that it contains ingredients like glycerin, Pro-vitamin B5, and niacinamide to help repair and protect dry skin.
