That means you can get spare condensor circuits.
Ever seen a Yamaha dual trigger pad? - They look spookily similar to 
the single trigger variety.
So I wonder, could you buy a condensor circuit, cut open a pad and 
slip it in? a bit of re-wiring and your away. One fully operational 
dual trigger pad."

After having opened up my the TP65 AND TP65S pads, other than the 
three conductor fsr ribbon and the pcb card with a stereo jack and an 
extra resistor the pads are seemingly indentical. Has anybody tried 
to get individual components from Yamaha. It sure would be nice to 
get some bits a pieces from them and "upgrade" some of my pads to 
dual/three zone pads.
