Re: [vintagesynthrepair] MiniKorg 700 Restoration Project - Parts needed!

COOL!

Nice project!  As far as keys, you might try Bob Weigel at: 
http://www.sounddoctorin.com.  He stocks keys, and often has what you might 
need.  He's good, and reasonable.
Also, please try Senso's website: http://www.vintageplanet.nl/content.html.  
He's in Holland, which may be a bit pricey for those of us in the US and Canada, 
but he usually has a VAST stock of parts.  And he's a frequent contributor on 
Analogue Heaven.
Wishing you great luck in finding the parts you need!

Hi.
I've decided to sort out my Minikorg 700. (Not 700s).
It has one missing key (F), and half of the G key missing too.
The power switch is broken (stuck ON), and there are several missing sliders and 
knobs. The woodwork is poor, and has been painted black.
There are some pictures on my website here: 
http://www.nervejam.com/projects/minikorg-700/

However, I'm having trouble sourcing parts, especially the keys. They are the 
same as MS-10/MS-20/Moog, so they are in demand.

If I can't find replacement keys, I'll have to consider breaking it up (shame as 
it works), and selling the parts on eBay (the keys alone would raise a lot of 
money).
(I DO have a spare Lowery keyboard, but fitting that is going to be a major 
pain.)

Can anyone help?
