Thanks !

OK so I opened it up, took a few connectors out and in - and viola ! it works !!

I could load and play a few disks so far. I found 3 keys which doesn't respond. I guess this monster will need some service and refurbishment. I might go and replace some caps in the power supply and in few other places.

Does anyone know which type of keys are these ? I heard they are the same as the Kawai K1... Do they match the keys of other synths ?

The lock handle of the bottom drive is missing as well... Which type of drive should I look for ?

If your display message doesnt change, and your drive LEDs never get lit, it may not be seeing the drives.

Then hit the drives with compressed air to remove any built up dust or debris. Reconnect everything and look for improved/changed behavior.
