Re: My VFX-SD

2005-04-22 by Bob

Actually, I did not know about all these faults when I bought the
keyboard.  I figured I could just take it to the repair people and all
would be well.  In the mean time, however, the guy I bought it from
left Ebay.  It's been well over a year now so I only have myself to blame.

Thanks for your suggestions.  I will try them.
