Richierich954,

you said you checked out hosa gear, but I wonder if you have
considered their PWC-178, which sounds like what you may be looking for...


Good Luck,
Ben

yeah... got it!

no my problem is fixing the keys....

out of a 61 note keyboard only about 9 work.

someone mentioned cleaning the contacts...

is this easy to do at home?

how much would it be to get it done at samash... where the work is under 
warranty?


thanks bro!

The thread is a little hazy (it's early, it could be me) but is this for the Korg?
Usually, cleaning the contacts is slightly time consuming but VERY simple. If you bring it somewhere else, you have to realize that for the most part, these people don't give a crap about your property and will pile other gear on top of it while it sets on a shelf for weeks (only weeks if you're lucky, could be months). Once they work on it they'll lay her on her face on a carpeted bench full of bits of wire lead and solder globs and slide it around etc. IOW, most don't give a crap about your stuff, it's just money for them.
If you're really lucky, you'll even get your unit back with most of the fasteners (like the screws to close the cabinet or hold on the wood cheeks, etc.) still there!
If at all possible, do this stuff yourself and stay away from repair shops unless you have absolutely NO OTHER alternative.
I just got a white face Odyssey that the twit's over at MusicTek (North Hollywood, Ca) put some healthy scratches on .
I've been unfortunate enough to buy two Oberheim's that have gone through these people that both took FIVE months to get back! You can pay them a "premium" rate (I think it's $180 an hour) and get on the "fast track" of an 8 week turn around. Both Obies were missin quite a bit of the mounting hardware.
I am going tomorrow to help someone that had their OB-8 there for 5 months and got it back and they had not cleaned all of the contacts. It's under 90 day warranty so he took it back and MusicTek has had it 3 months now - just to clean the contacts which they were paid to have supposedly done already! These people REALLY suck!

You may want to try Korg USA Direct. They are still located in Westbury, NY I believe and a look at the phone directory may get you a phone number. They used to stock a bunch of old parts!
