Yes, I have a GEM Promega 3, 88 note weighted keyboard that I use as a master keyboard - great action! . However, I want to use less keyboards and having a weighted Oasys would mean that I wouldn't need the GEM in my daily setup.

I wish I had bought an O88 from the outset, but it's too late now.

I am still going to go ahead with changing the keyboard over to weighted if I can find a suitable donor. P/X from 76 to 88 is not an option, way too expensive and there are not many in this part of the world.
Hi Steve:

Maybe not an issue in this case, but I have the Z1 that as far I remember also uses a Yamaha keybed and several other Yamaha keyboards and the lenght of the keybed (for the same amount of octaves of course) is slightly smaller in the synth action keybed. It worth to check...
I compared both of them and keys in the 88 Fatar keybed (oasys) are really wider than the ones in the yamaha keybed (Z1, other yamahas...no idea in 76 Oasys).
