Power Supplies and Keyboards

Power Supplies and Keyboards

2008-01-04 by surfermarketing

While the VFX/SD1 service manual clearly states that all units use the
same power supply, on the next page they state that they are different
for serial #19340 and higher. Terminals J3, J4 are in a different
place and one fuse F4 is a fast blow. Not being a tech my question is
will I destroy a keyboard assembly if I swap a VFX on to my SD1 and
vice versa. I would prefer to have the more sensitive aftertouch on my
SD1. I have swapped display boards between SD1&SD1-32 with no problem
but that was before I heard about the power supply issue. These babies
are too rare to short out stuff.
Thanks All
