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.

Great Multipurpose Ointment & More Hygienic Than Vaseline
Size: 7 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: 7 Ounce Tube
I love this Aquaphor Healing Ointment because it works for so many different things. I use it on my cracked heels, dry elbows, and chapped lips, and it helps keep my skin moisturized and protected. One of my favorite things about this product is the squeezable tube packaging. Unlike Vaseline jars, I don’t have to keep dipping my fingers into it, which feels much more hygienic and convenient. You also get a pretty generous amount, so the tube lasts a long time. Overall, this has become a staple in my skincare routine, and I would definitely recommend it.

Best For Preventing Scars
Size: 7 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: 7 Ounce Tube
My dermatologist recommended this cream to me years ago, and it is the only one I have found that actually prevents scarring. It is very thick and has a horrible texture, but it is the best for moisturizing and scar prevention. It is just one of those creams that I think it is only great to use as a nighttime extra moisture cream. Just know that it is very thick and oily, and it does leave a bit of a film.

works quickly
Size: 7 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: 7 Ounce Tube
This Aquaphor ointment has been the best thing combined with the cotton white gloves for my dry and cracked fingers. In the winter or even when I am in the kitchen a lot and my hands are in the hard AZ water, this is a great treatment to help heal my skin and ease the discomfort. Just after one or two nights of using the two combined, my skin is renewed and healing.

Good for the skin
Size: 7 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: 7 Ounce Tube, Size: 7 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: 7 Ounce Tube
I’ve been using Aquaphor Healing Ointment Advanced and it’s honestly been a lifesaver for my skin. I apply it on dry areas like my lips, hands, and even small dry patches, and it helps them feel soft and moisturized really fast. I like that it has a thick texture, so it really locks in moisture and protects the skin. It’s especially good at night when my skin feels extra dry because I wake up with everything feeling way smoother. It’s also very gentle, so I don’t get any irritation when I use it. Overall, it’s one of those products I always keep at home because it works so well for healing and keeping my skin hydrated.

Good product. Here's a tip for best results.
Size: 7 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: 7 Ounce Tube
This is a very thick product, almost Vaseline-like in consistency (it's main ingredient is petrolatum). If you apply it to dry skin, it's going to be very difficult to spread and not do you much good. Apply to damp skin after a bath or shower to facilitate application, hold the moisture from the water in your skin, and give you the best results.
