Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

yes gary, you are correct.

mine is an Omron G2E-187P -H-B 5VDC. and when i 'googled' it i already found out it's exactly what you say, a relay.

i was just about to ask it here what it does to the synth, and your info is more than enough. thanks!

btw, i already took out the relay to look for a spare part. 

although, when i 'googled' its availability, many of the searches that came out says 9vDC not 5vdc. will it make a difference?

i'll try to go the electronics hub in our city (manila) this weekend and try to look for it. i just hope there's one for me out there.

also, without the relay in the synth, will the synth still work? i'm using a regulated power supply that exactly put out 9volts at 1000ma.

sorry for so many questions. but your info is very accurate to the solution for my cz1000 problem.

again, thanks so much!!
