Backlit display out on CZ-1 - How to fix

2009-02-28 by TTFI

Here is a site in the US that offers EL foil in tape widths about 
20mm or 1 inch wide. $7.50 per foot. Much cheaper than any Ebay 
offering. If anyone is interested I'm going to buy a 1 foot length 
and I'll have 3 strips left over to fix 3 additional backlight 
displays on a CZ-1 synth. The color is blue. Contact me here if 
interested.
