Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

hello everyone!
i´m new to this group and this is my first posting.

i have the same problem as roland described it but i don´t have to
switch off my cz-1. after some minutes the synth works fine until
it has sometimes random breakdowns after an hour or so.
could you describe more precisely, where i have to look for the
defective capacitors?
