Replacing parts for Xpander buttons

Replacing parts for Xpander buttons

2014-12-20 by akva@...

Hi,


Does anybody know, if there are anywhere available spare Xpander buttons, originals or compatible? I might be even willing to trade a CEM3374 or a display for buttons - if sale is not an option.


Merry Christmas to All!

Sam Mims of Syntaur just yesterday posted on the Analog Heaven mailing list that they now have all the old stock of parts from Oberheim/Gibson. I'd definitely check there to see if he has any.

Morevover, I remember that I bought some years ago some original switches fron doug @ synthparts (Sorry, I'll keep them ;) )

Merry Christmas,

Contact Clavia, their Nord synthesizers use similar looking buttons, albeit smaller.  I'm sure the same manufacturer makes the bigger Xpander/M-12 button keytops.   I did see those online a little while ago but I can't remember which distributor it was.

I'm interested too. I did find some parts that looked identical but the mounting is different as the manufacturer improved the design.

If anyone needs, here is a good reference for the buttons, same manufacturer as the original ones ( marquardt) , and pin for pin compatible



Don't forget to buy new cover caps, they are not compatible with the old ones
ref : 826.010.011 and so on

To be more precise ; 6425.1101 are compatible with JAP Xpander/M12 switches, but you have to adapt them :

Jap switchs pin spacing = 10mm
US pin spacing = 5mm

Be prepared ! ;)

Other than that, they work flawlessly on my JAP M12
