Okay, where do I
start.
I own a Kurzweil
2500. I've had it for several years but have never gotten into upgrading
or anything. I just use it for the onboard sounds. A month or so ago
I dropped a penny and it fell right into the Kurz. Since I needed to
finish a run of bookings I didn't do anything with it. I just figured I'd
wait till I had some time off. Well that time has
come.
I opened the Kurz
and got the penny back however in the meantime I heard some other stuff rattling
around. When I opened it up I found a couple of other things besides the
penny. I found a solid cylinder. It's about 7/8" long and 7/16"
round, completely solid. I also found three plastic parts. Two of
them appear to be exactly the same and the third part looks like it belongs to
the other two parts. I also found a screw. It's about 1" long, has a
washer on it and looks to be a # 6 or #8 sized screw. All of these parts
can be seen at this web address http://www.gourdgeouscreations.com/Kurzparts.htm
The pictures are
somewhat blurry but I think with the description I gave above, a clear idea of
what I'm talking about shouldn't be too hard to come up
with.
I'm wondering what
these parts are and where they go. I figure the screw may have just worked
it's way loose over the past 6 or 7 years that I've had the keyboard (it's
traveled a lot over that time from gig to gig). It's possible that the
three plastic parts go with the screw. I'm really puzzled by the cylinder
and where it came from. I'm also wondering if, from the penny rolling back
and forth inside the keyboard if, the penny didn't knock the cylinder
loose.
In any event I could
use some help in finding places for these parts and also some general advice on
what to do with the keyboard now that it's opened and what to be cautious
of. I know that people open these keyboards often for upgrades so I figure
I'm not in uncharted territories.
Thanks for accepting
me into your group and for the valuable help I know will be
coming,
Don..........
