I recently bought a Krog Monopoly in which someone has doe a real hack job in repairing a damaged keyboard PCB. The PCB doesn't look like it can be salvaged. Can someone suggest where I can get a replacement 44-key keyboard? I know a direct replacement is a very long shot but any 44-Key keyboard will do. Thanks Harold

If it's just the keyboard that's causing trouble you could remove it alltogether and build a MIDI interface in to run the CV/Gate inputs. IIRC, the Monopoly does have a CV/Gate interface, and the main thing it seems to be used for is it's mono mode anyway - the poly mode is somewhat compromised. That could be easier and cheaper than seeking out the parts, though it does of course have some drawbacks...

I am not looking for an exact replacement for the original keyboard. Any 44-Key keyboard will work. I will design a circuit to allow me to use it with the keyboard scanner inside the monopoly. You used to be able to find companies selling keyboards all over the place. Not any more apparently.
