Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

I've had my CZ-101 since 1983. I lost the original power supply years 
ago. There are a number of different sized power plugs available that 
will fit into the CZ's power jack. I don't know exactly which size 
was used on the original, so I've had to experiment with a few 
different sizes to find one that will work. My findings are that some 
of the sizes are 'close enough' to use, but can cause the center pin 
on the keyboard to 'open' if wiggled the right way. My power LED 
flashes when this happens. I have to be careful with the plug I'm 
using as it will disengage if I'm not paying attention while moving 
the keyboard around. Just a thought that might help here.

i've got corrosion in the battery compartment from leaky batteries 
and that stops them from doin' their thang. that's happened before 
with my other cz.
