Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Thanks for the input guys, I was thinking about using the CZ-5000´s values, since the 3000 it is really a 5000 minus the sequencer...
Steve: Not really, until now it has been quite a deal, here in my country a working condition CZ-3000 in my country sells at aprox. 1400 pesos (U$S350), I have spent U$S 60 on the 3000, plus U$S 15 on the touch switches and faders. The replacement work was done by myself since I can handle the soldering iron pretty well( a bit tedious work, each switch has 4 solder points, so I had desoldered/soldered like 500 times!!!). Regarding the CZ-5000 service manual, it is nearly 45Mb. It´s ok to upload such big files to the group´s file section?

The CZ-1 was launched a couple of years later and while it featured an upgraded version of the same architecture, I doubt that the electronics are quite as similar.
