[sdiy] L.A. surplus (found 5 octave keyboards)

[patchell]

    Was this All-Electronics in Van Nuys?....If it was, yes, pick up a
few.   Those are Fatar keyboards.  I have a few myself.  You need to get
several, as you will have to mix and match to make a working keyboard.

    Several months ago they also had a whole shit pot load (a stack of
them that was about 4 feet high on a pallet) of 88 Key hammer action
keyboards (Fatar) as well.  And you are correct, these were used in
Alesis keyboards (the 88 key keyboards were from the QS8).

    Personally, if I was you, I would get my rear end down there as soon
as posible.  It sounds like they don't have many left.  It will probably
be a while before another deal like this will come your way.
