[sdiy] Frozen DX7IID

[Terry Shultz]

Hi Greg,

Where are you located at? US or ?

Paul Morte Technical Services is the National US Service Contractor for 
Yamaha and is the best place to acquire anything Yamaha.

His office number is +1-714-532-9540 in Orange, Calif.

He has been a long time friend of mine and could assist you better than 
anyone I know.

best regards,

Terry
