Grant at MTG has come up with a replacement CPU for the Pro-One,
with integrated MIDI and a few other upgrades. Anyone in need of
a replacement (or looking for an upgrade) should check it out:<br>

I've installed several, and they work just fine.<br>

<pre wrap="">Thanks for the report. What did you use to "clean the pins and sockets"?

A scalpel to scrape off corrosion, alcohol to remove the stickiness, and a piece of wire pushed in and out of the individual sockets. Nothing very clever.
It will probably need doing again at some point, but I regard this sort of minor servicing as a fact of life with 35-year-old keyboards.

Absolutely! That was my fear too! A dead DAC or uP would have been a serious PITA.

Yes, I've replaced the synth-end DIP socket and replaced the cable too. I still like the J-wire keyboard though!
