Vintage Synth Repair

Hi Gwydi

 

The easiest way to get service information on current products is to do a
search of the Kurzweil web site.  I would start by doing a search on
Kurzweil in Google.  This should get you to the manufacturer.

 

Failing this we have a guy in the UK, Bill Greenhill who is an expert on
keyboards and has the rights to service warrantee repairs for several
manufacturers, including Kurzweil.  I know this to be a fact as I do his
repairs here in the South East of England and I repaired a Kurzweil some
months ago for him.  He carries in stock a wide selection of service manuals
and those he doesn't have he can usually get.

 

The same applies to component parts.

 

Bill's e-mail address is bill@... and his web site is
http://www.wdgreenhill.co.uk <http://www.wdgreenhill.co.uk/> 

 

Hope this helps.

 

Regards

 

Brian G3OYU

Subject: [vintagesynthrepair] Kurzweil K2000 questions

 

I got a Kurzweil K2000 with the sampling option early this year and promptly

upgraded it to the latest OS and max sample ram, and it's been running 
great.

However, the LCD backlight has become so dim as to be practically 
unreadable, and due to a cramped studio space I can't easily find a way to 
shine a light directly onto the screen, so;

1. How difficult/expensive is it to replace/repair the backlight?

2. Where would I source the parts (I'm in Australia, but don't mind shipping

things from overseas)

3. Where can I get a service manual, so I've got some sort of guidelines to 
follow?

My technical skills are, well let's say I know which end of the soldering 
iron to hold and that's about it.

Thanks,
Gwydi
