I posed this same question to a good friend of mine at Sam Ash Music stores in NY and was
informed that tech-heads at Fender were in collaborations with a certain unnamed Co. to
maufacture the original Rhodes to it's previous standards. This was to be made available at the end of the year. I tried searching the web for verification, but to no avail. We will just have to wait and see.
I purchased mine back in'79 for bout $700.00
and would never ever part with it. If i get any bonafied updates, i surely will keep you informed!

I heard the same rumor ... and thought my brother would think this was way cool since he had one in the 70's. I was surprised when he told me that there was no way in hell he'd ever go back to a Rhodes. He's got a QS8 which he thinks sounds just as good and wouldn't go back to lugging a huge animal like that around ... plus when he started talking about what a pain it was to replace the tines ... I had to get him a beer! 
Anyway ... don't know what that means, if anything. One guy's opinion only, of course ... so this is not a Rhodes-bash by any means. I thought it would've been cool and nostalgic to have one here in the studio, which is why I mentioned it to him in the first place. Since he's the keyboard guy, not me ... i think I'm gonna get a reverb unit instead
