Hi all

Was at my KA meeting and had to stand up and admit that I just bought a Kurzweil PC3 - does anyone know why I would do that?

:wink:

After looking at your instrument list, it doesn't make sense. It has to be some kind of "dependency" issue. Or it looked lonely and needed a loving home. :idea:

Post by nc88keyz »

I just re-united with my high school sweetheart.....

$180 with a z frame stand , pedal, and a flight case.

Its got to be pushing 130lbs give / take. and I am over 40....


I cant even get it upstairs without a second at this point.

She is pristine, and pearly white,

LCD backlight - virtually gone, it glows just a tad

Joystick great
key action great
buttons pretty good
outputs great
battery dead

Rescued from a church for under $180 USD

Ahh, a church orphan. But can she remember how to rock and roll? She may be psychologically unable to "party", considering her former owners. ;-)

Notes for anyone working on a 01W Pro-X

Dont drop a dime in the keybed...It was not able to be located.
Entire Keybed had to come out.
The instruction in many places state you can just lift it out, when in fact the joystick assemble cage with the floppy under mounted, has to come out. I could not find any other way.

Once that was done it was gravy to get the keybed out and locate the missing dime.

Battery replaced, and you can look under her hood if you want to. She is just super clean. I didnt see any bulging caps at all, Everything is pristine inside. and just a few marks on her body in the wooded areas.

Good Times,
Now to order that LED backlight White font on Blue Background. I'm ready for it!

Stand up? It's a result of about six million years of development. Originally we were on all fours, but over time developed the ability to stand erect on only two legs. That was the direct result of...

Oh, wait...

Nevermind!
