Okay something weird was happening but now I can access the member only area again. Here are the pictures. What do you think those two caps are for? Also, although the dc jack works, I should still solder in Q1 right? Is the dc jack okay where it is or will with potentially damage the keyboard?

One thing that is bugging me about the service manual is that it gives the parts list but doesn't tell you c88 is 1 uf electrolytic r32 is 10k etc. If the butcher switched a resistor took out a cap, how am I supposed to get the right part back in? do I have to make a check list of what is already on the board? I suppose that is the only option. Anyways, thanks for all your help guys.
