Well I wrote a little while ago with this ESQ-1 stuck on preset problem. 
I've put some more hours into it and it appears the problem is the
Keyboard/Panel Processor, which is unavailable as a replacement part.  I'm
also becoming aware that the ESQ-1 was designed so that most problems would
be solved by replacing a board rather than individual chips.  If you've ever
cracked one open you know that there are several boards connected by snap on
ribbon connectors.  Very easy to replace a board bu all the chips except for
the CEM's are soldered right in with no sockets, hard to replace a chip.  So
I'm putting this out on the odd hope that maybe someone out there mat have
stripped an ESQ-1 for its CEM's at some point and have the other boards
lying aroung that I could buy off them.  Figured it doesn't hurt to ask,
also any pointers with the problem are welcome as usual.
Thanks,
Gavin
