You know, the one to hold the keys in place. Found that among other stuff. Thanks!

Yes I believe they are. They look exactly like the ones that came with my Kronos X.

yes they are grey on the other side. I thought I lost them.

It's from the K73, pretty sure I had only 2. I hope someone can confirm.

Thanks!

The K73 only had two cardboard spacers,but I think the K88 had three.
Their main purpose is for transportation,to prevent any possible movement of the keyframe etc.....but are also a convenient method for gap setting.

You can use anything of equivalent thickness....or even guess the gap, it's not a critical dimension,as long as the keys don't foul the front bar and the keyframe isn't too far backward against the "stop".
("stop" meaning it won't go any further....).

Best Wishes.

Glad to know I found them.
