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.

Didn’t hold up for more than a minute but the silicone strawberry by itself is durable.
Pattern Name: Strawberry, Pattern Name: Strawberry
Our best dog toy reviewer, a cattle dog mix, gave this toy a big thumbs up ONLY because she could demolish it in seconds. Not minutes, but seconds. The toy has a pouch stuffed into a silicone toy strawberry. The pouch is really stuffed in well, so much so that I couldn’t remove it, but she sure did! In about a minute all that was left was the dismembered strawberry “leaves” and a silicone strawberry which, oddly enough, she seems to enjoy. The silicone strawberry seems quite durable by itself. The toy is brightly colored and small in size. This not a durable toy unless you have a dog that is not an aggressive chewer, but for us, it is not recommended.

Good for larger treats, not small ones
Pattern Name: Carrot, Pattern Name: Carrot
Our dog loves this treat toy. It has been very durable as far as the rubber part goes but the cloth carrot insert not so much, that got torn apart pretty quickly. Also this works for bigger treats, but once the cloth carrot was destroyed, there was no way to keep small treats from just falling out. Now we use it to stick larger chew sticks in the holes and it works to help her keep it in place while chewing.

Dogs love these treat toys
Pattern Name: Strawberry, Pattern Name: Strawberry
I have big dogs who live for treats and love to play puzzle games to find treats. You can stuff these toys with small treats which gives your dog a mental challenge while working to figure out how to get them out. The quality of these toys are great but durability with big dogs will be short lived. The strawberry green top immediately was de-stuffed while dog was looking for more hidden treats. The corn husk seems to be more challenging for them to get the treats out. However my smarter dog was determined and eventually reaped the rewards. I would recommend these toys for dogs who will not rip them apart.... but really is there any pup who doesn't enjoy de-stuffing a stuffie squeek toy?

Great feeder for high energy puppy!
Size: Large, Color: Blue
I have a 50lb high energy puppy. She is not a fast eater, BUT she loves this activity and it gives me about 30 minutes of uninterrupted bliss. It took about 10 minutes to demonstrate to help her get the hang of it. She will sit, spin the barrel with her paw, then sniff every divider, only open the ones with her food, and then restart the process. It is sturdy and stays on the floor as she paws and pushes. It might move a little, but not far. This is my favorite puzzle toy by far and I love that it is "hard" enough to keep her occupied but not enough that she gets frustrated and doesn't want to do it.
