The Kawai & Teisco Analog Synths Group

Hi everyone! 

I just came home from the Goodwill with a SX-240. I plugged it in 
and it does make sound. A kind of boring patch, but it seems to 
work!

I downloaded the user manual from Kawai so I have lots of 
reading and tinkering to do.

Questions-

How do I get inside this thing? I'd really like to check that the 
battery is O.K. and (I guess) get a replacement. Plus, I love 
seeing the guts of my electronic junk.

One of the switch covers is missing. Are these (even if the wrong 
color) available anywhere?

I was going to ask about the little reset hole in back. I'll just try it 
sans handholding.. 

Well, off to spend quality time with the manual. God, I hope it's 
easier to program than my CZ-101...

Nice find. the reset hole turns all patches to the basic tone. From
there you have to create your own work for new patches to save. Side
pannels and back screws have to be removed to get inside. Not that
much fun on this synth. The top has to be gentally propped, because it
is still connected via cables.
