blockquote, div.yahoo_quoted { margin-left: 0 !important; border-left:1px #715FFA solid !important; padding-left:1ex !important; background-color:white !important; } Very interesting! Could you post pics of your adventures as you try to "revive" this vintage keyboard?

Today I have found a nice looking CZ1000 like a new one in the nearest 
recycle shop, in junk department proclaimed as non working. Price was 
4.6 USD, so I couldn't leave it there.

Using proper adapter at home I could make it work on the first switch 
on. I'm quite sure that instruments have a soul and can feel they are 
in good hands. So far so good.

Everything is OK, but power connector board is probably somehow 
moving, or there's a cold contact on the connector itself - when I 
move with it, sometimes instrument switches off. Opening the 
instrument will probably take more time than the repair :-)

There's a small coin battery in the holder inside the battery 
compartment, it looks like previous owner did this modification to 
keep data when power off. I don't like similar amateur looking mods so 
will think twice if to leave it there or remove.

The next step will be replacing the display for modern one with LED 
backlight as I did with my CZ3000.

Merry Christmas!
