CZ5000 - Replacement Keys/Buttons Needed

CZ5000 - Replacement Keys/Buttons Needed

2003-09-25 by derby378

HELP!  I rescued a poor little Casio CZ-5000 that had been abandoned 
and left for dead.  The internals all look OK so far; the control 
panel frame and keyboard frame are bent slightly as if someone 
dropped a bowling ball on it, but that can be fixed.  What I need now 
are approximately two octaves worth of keys (with springs, if 
possible) and some control panel buttons.  Anyone know where I might 
score some of this relatively cheap?

Any help or info would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

P.S. - New to the list.  I also currently own a Sequential Circuits 
Prophet 600 (my personal favorite) and a Kawai K1-II.

D'Erby -

Best of luck with replacing Casio keys.  For years now, I've had both a
CZ-5000 & an FZ-1 with a broken key each. I did eventually find a replacement
source through Casio's official site, but the repair shoppe that eventually
replied said I'd have to ship them the keyboard, and they'd do the work - they
won't sell their parts outright.  Drag.  So, if you're willing to spend some
$$$ on shipping & bench time, it is doable.  A cost-effective solution seems
unlikely.

BTW, sorry, don't have the shop's name/contact info anymore ... check Casio's
site if interested.

Godspeed,
Ryan

I was afraid of that.  Thanks for the info, though.

Out of curiosity, Ryan, which key do you need?
