K5synth

Greetings, 

I have an ailing K5, and I'm hoping that someone has a spare circuit 
board from a scrapped K5 that they are willing to sell. 

There is a certain circuit board inside the K5 that holds the backup 
battery.  This is the battery that retains all of the K5's patch 
info.  A few years ago, I tried to replace this battery.  During the 
attempt, the prongs that clip to and hold the battery in place broke 
off.  Subsequent attempts to re-solder a replacement battery have 
proven unsuccessful. 

Is there anyone out there who has a partial or broken K5 that 
they're willing to cannibalize so that I can get my K5 working 
again?  My K5 is in perfect condition otherwise, except that I need 
to reload all of its original data. 

Hopeful in NYC, USA,
