Hi!

The cable for the keyboard is hard wired to the keyboard end and does 
not un-plug... was going to list all the spare parts on ebay that i 
had. Would let you have the keyboard PCD with cables connected for 
£15 if you wanted or i could remove the cable from the pcb which 
would leave you having to resolder it on...
