Up for sale is my custom PA800. It basically consists of a modified PA800 with a Roland Fantom XR module fitted inside and the keybed replaced with one from a Studiologic VMK-161 Plus Organ master keyboard. Some pictures of the keyboard can be viewed here and here.
All of the connections are internal so it pretty much looks like a standard PA800 except for the front which is slightly modified to accomodate the module front panel and slightly longer keys. Because the audio from the XR is wired up internally it is not possible to use the PA800 audio inputs. However an audio input can be routed through the XR audio inputs if needed (but not a mic). The card slot on the XR is also not available however there is a 512MB card permanenyl in the slot internally within the unit which is available over USB, to enable the card to be loaded with stuff if required.
The overall weight is about 5lbs heavier than a normal PA800. This is 2lbs extra for the semi-weighted keyboard and 3lbs for the parts from the XR. The size is very similar except being slightly deeper.
I am looking for £850.
Please PM me for more details or to arrange a viewing.
Best Regards
Paul.

Korg PA800 with EXB MP3 and Upgraded Keybed For Sale

I never had any interest from my original post. Since then the keyboard has remained largely un-used apart from lending it to a friend (for a year) who plays in church but was without a keyboard at home to practice on.
To try and sell it this time and perhaps allay any fears I have removed the fantom XR boards and any internal wiring. Only the front panel of the fantom XR remains, but this is only so that there is not a gaping hole at the front. So this is now basically a standard PA800 with an upgraded keybed (upgraded? - I guess is subjective). I have loaded the latest OS and resources and therefore the only difference to the published specification is as follows:
Keybed: Replaced with the keybed from a Studiologic VMK-161 Plus Organ. It is still a semi-weighted action but not as light a touch as the original.
Size: 1110 × 420 × 181 mm (width x depth x height), i.e. it is approximately 32mm deeper, this is basically because the keybed sticks out further at the front than the original.
Weight: 33lbs, i.e. approximately 4lbs heavier due to the more substantial keybed.
Casing: The front and base of the casing is substantially adapted to accommodate the changes. This is not a hack but in my opinion is professionally done.
Rear Panel: Some additional holes are present which are now blanked out.
The PA800 comes with the following accessories:
1. EXB MP3 fitted.
2. Original manual and CD.
3. 2 x music stands.
4. Soft case.
5. Foot switch/pedal.
Overall the keyboard is in very good condition. There is a small mark on the front panel of the casing.
I am looking for £695 which seems reasonable as they seem to fetch upwards of £800 on ebay without the MP3 card. Sorry but I would prefer not to post since I want the buyer to be fully satisfied before paying for the keyboard.
I have placed a number of pictures here
Kind Regards
