I just found this resource on the net for Pratt-Read mechanisms.
http://pw2.netcom.com/~arcsound/

Archive Sound carries repplacement kits for Prophet-5, OB-Xa, PPG, Octave Cat 2, most ARPs, and the Minimoog.

Quote:
You can restore the action of your favorite vintage synth to "As New" using our Pratt-Read rebuild kits, and a couple of hours of your time. Once installed, you will experience, perhaps for the first time, what this quality mechanism is capable of. The P-R rebuild kit is available in a variety of sizes and contains BRAND NEW lubricated bushings, along with easy-to-follow instructions. Replacing your keyboard's bushings is a simple repair for the DIYer, and will greatly enhance the playing enjoyment of your instrument, not to mention the resale value.

Great resource. Thanks for posting this. Someday, I'm going to recondition my Moog Modular IIC.
