Vintage Synth Repair

HI folks..

I need a top octave set of keys for this unit.

Korg doesnt make them anymore and Ebay has no matches and neither do the Korg Parts suppliers USA.

Any help would be MOST appreciated


Thanks,

Scott in Vermont

Not sure if it will help but I know my Korg SG-1D piano used a Yamaha keyboard assembly, thats what the tech put in it when the top octave went on mine many moons ago, it was a third of the price Korg wanted and exactly the same unit. 

I know yours is a different model but it might be worth checking if its a similar situation for yours.

Best of luck fixing it, Marty

Almost all of the Korg home products were made by Yamaha. They had Yamaha keys and Yamaha circuit boards.

You might remove one or two and take them to a shop that does Yamaha work and just set them on the counter, if they have a good key stock they will at least ID it for you.  If that does not work, I have a friend that I believe has one with a very damaged 3500 and possible he may be willing to sell parts.

Thanks , Roger...I had a sneaking suspicion about the Yamaha parts.
If my search falls flat , I may contact you again. Are the parts in the UK??

Hi Scott,
 
if you're looking for old C3500 piano keys I've a few keys in stock.
These are indeed equal to the old Yamaha CLP300 series (Order number VC508xxx).
Just let me know which keys you're exactly looking for if interested.
 
Regards, Harald

compare the key to the replacement parts available for the Korg X2/X3 series.  They are made by Yamaha and there is a guy on the web somewhere that sells them.  If that is not the key, he may have access to the part.
