Re: [vintagesynthrepair] New Keyboard

another chance could be to buy a cheap vintage keyboard that have CV and Trigger outputs, and patch that to CV in and Trigger in on your monopoly (if it has such a thing, most ancient analogs do). I do that with my Yamaha CS5 and Korg MS-10, they love working together. Patching Main out from CS-5 to Ext signal in on the VCF on MS-10 and you got a 2 VCO synth :) But that's another story.

If it's just the keyboard that's causing trouble you could remove it
alltogether and build a MIDI interface in to run the CV/Gate inputs.

IIRC, the Monopoly does have a CV/Gate interface, and the main thing
it seems to be used for is it's mono mode anyway - the poly mode is
somewhat compromised.

That could be easier and cheaper than seeking out the parts, though it
does of course have some drawbacks...
