Re:: looking for info on casiotone 701

most LOVELY instruments...
I for sure must spend some more time looking at them all again. & again most likely too... :)
Well my 701 seems to A: not be recording correctly & B: the accomp. section plays NO chords
in any mode (fingrd/auto/arp.) I am blaming this upon damage done either in shipping or made to look such.
701's have big chunky wood as you most likely know, and there was nothing between them and the box.
There was hardly anything in the box to protect the entire unit for that matter.
Well on the arp./chord/accomp side, there ise a big chuck bashed out/ pushed in etc.
I have seen this happen on organs (which I have 7) if they are jarred.
the speaker on the entire other side also became dislodged, hinting @ the impact.
Both fuses are in tact it seems, so I am a bit lost. Also looking up some stuff upon the 701 there are some
mods I'd like to do, and some empty slots I've heard nobody talk about thus far, as I have found.
So I have many questions and inquiries.
I really enjoy cheesy auto chords & was so stoked to hear these, yet now I am dead in the water.
Sorry for long rant...
I was org. thinking I was just dumb and the 701 didn't work as simple as most ALL other keyboards/organs
(turn chord switch ON) and I'm just doing something wrong, yet I am pretty sure it's malfunctioning.
