Kurzweil PC88 VGM Board?

Kurzweil PC88 VGM Board?

2014-01-31 by <nickap@...>

Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions where I might be able to track down a VGM board for a Kurzweil PC88? I have a feed on eBay so if one pops up on there I'll get a notification, but so far no luck. Full Compass still lists them for sale but the full cost is more than I paid for the keyboard itself. I'd love to find a used one somewhere ... The other possibility would be to find a 'for parts / not working' PC88/mx on eBay or wherever, and get the board from that (assuming that's not the part that's not working!). Anyway, does anyone else have any leads or suggestions?
Thanks -- Nick

i had great success in buying keyboard contact strips for my k2000 off ebay.  basically there are synth wreakers who calculate they can get more by pulling something apart than by trying to seel a cpomplete one and having deals fall apart from shipping issues.  That's my reading of the few people I see doing this.  Lorne in Canada
