Two keyboard mechanisms and a footpedal keyboard.. Just over £25 all-in. Can't be bad. Even agreed combined postage of £12.50 before I sniped.. Two of the items were my max bid, too.. I can feel some tinkering coming on. You forgot to insert the "Evil Dr. Frankenstein Laugh" into the above post.  |

He He! #twisted#
Just paid for me bits. (OO-err Missus).
I plan to resurrect my minikorg 700 (not S) with one of the kbd assembles, and use the other for a little project I have in mind.
I already have a circuit diagram for a bass synth thing based around a footpedal kbd assembly....
That's me set for the year, tinkering-wise, bearing in mind that I also have a Rhythm Jester to convert to 240V, a D4 to fix, and a Stratus to sort out.
My m500 needs TLC, too.

I've just updated the first post with pics of the keyboards & pedalboard.. and I found a picture of the "machine" they came from:  "Manufactured Around 1958", it says here.. #snigski# Or it's possibly THIS ONE, same keyboards, anyway. |

Will this: become this: ? That would be cool, but if it was mine, I'd build an ARP Axxe circuit, setting it to play in its lowest octave only. The Axxe sounds GREAT down there! I wish I still had my Axxe. I sold it to a guy in the UK a little over a year ago, and he has never used it, said he couldn't find someone to fix the key that supposedly broke off in shipping.  I had done a FULL rebuild on that sucker too! |

"A large package has arrived. Please pick it up from reception as soon as possible.."
It's going to be fun getting this home on the train..

Any progress on the project yet? Just curious...  |

Nope. I still have one of the kbs and the pedalboard in storage @work, they're flipping heavy!
I suspect that I won't be able to use the kbd on the miniKorg 700, as it has it's contacts at the back, rather than underneath, so it's too "long" (not wide). We'll see..
