Has anyone opened up a CZ-1?

2014-11-28 by device.monkey@...

Hi,


Recently I bought a nice old CZ-1, unfortunately, the pitch wheel has become disconnected and has fallen inside. The fault was there when I bought it (poor guy, it broke while he was demonstrating it). I mostly use the CZ via MIDI, but the keyboard's actually quite good, so I would like to fix it anyway.


The day I bought it, I opened up some of the synth, but couldn't seem to easily access the part where the two wheels are (on the left of the keyboard). I put it back together before I did anything silly...


Today I downloaded a service manual for the CZ-5000 (v. similar synth), but I couldn't really make sense of it. Has anyone opened up a CZ-1, and knows how to access the wheels? Any tips or pointers?


I will definitely have another go, but I thought it would be best to ask the folks here before blindly going in...


Thanks,

Jim
