Wanted replacement knobs for CZ synths.

Wanted replacement knobs for CZ synths.

2008-03-29 by narfman96

I posted a crude sketch and all the approximate dimensions for the 
volume and chorus slider knobs on the CZ's. The jpg is in the files 
section. I've been looking for these for a while without any success. 
If anyone has any info on this it would be greatly appreciated. 

I noticed after looking at some more pics the CZ1 knobs are blue/green 
and the CZ5000 are orange. Not the way I described them in the pic.

I'm still working on replacing the aftertouch strip in a CZ1. I have 
strips of adhesive backed felt from Durofelt.com and pressure sensing 
strips from TrossenRobotics.com. With these I am building a new 
assembly. The only hassle is the pressure strips are only 24 inches 
long with the CZ1 needing at least 34". I plan to use 2 pressure strips 
wired together. The pressure strips are trimmable with scissors. I'm 
trying to get good pressure response without any added circuitry. I'll 
send an update on my progress - good or bad....

A few years ago, someone was selling a CZ (not sure which one) as 
parts on e-bay. Did you check there? Also, back in the 80s/90s, I had 
my CZ repaired at the place that Casio recommended and used 
themselves; I think it was Triple S Electronics in NJ. Not sure if 
they are around. --Steve
