anyone breaking up a 2000 for parts?

I know, I know- it would be a terrible thing to do to a working machine. I'm kind of hoping that someone out there has a train-wreck of a 2000 with some or all of the insides intact. the chip I need is unique to the 2000, does not feature in the 2002 or, as far as I know, any other keyboard. it's the keyboard controller IC... but I would probably just take the whole board, in case something else on my controller card was responsible for mine failing. I love that keyboard. I use the 2002 a lot for instruments, but there's something even better about having the keyboard version to work up nice instrument samples on. I am /this close/ [holds thumb & forefinger together] to constructing some sort of frankenstein solution with a vanilla midi keyboard inside the 2000's case & hooked up through a merge box. but really I'd rather restore it. I am in london, UK, but willing to pay for shipping & (if necessary) your local tech to dismantle the bits I need out of the dead 2000 you've just remembered in your attic..... :-) duncan.
