[sdiy] FS: MicroKorg replacement keybed

[Mike Beauchamp]

Hi Nantonos,

The keys and circuit board are attached to a bent piece of sheet metal,
the contacts are bubble contacts and there are 74 diodes withtwo
headers, one 10 pin and one 8 pin.

To join two keybeds, you'd need to remove the high-C from the lower one.
The molded plastic key for the high-C is separate and individually
screwed on - easy to remove. The metal and circuit board would just need
to be trimmed accordingly.

I actually have 4 keybeds in total if you need two.

Mike
