Re: [disklavier] 1996 Disklavier II - power supply failure?

2015-12-02 by Bill Brandom

I am unaware of the significance of the "10". The "R" is for RECORD. The wagon grand was sold both as a record unit and a playback-only unit in Japan.

Jus interested Bill do you know if my wagon is a PPG-10R what did the 10 and the R designate?  Was the R for remote control or something?

Peter, 

If this piano was made for use in Japan, the control unit model number will begin with PPxxxxxx. Let me know the model of the control unit.
