Display Name Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share Posted January 1, 2014 Best. Post. Ever. I just watched every TNG episode over the last few weeks on Amazon Prime. Boy some of those first episodes were a little rough but they got better with each one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chas Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 FZ-1 is up for sale close to me.. $250 with flight case......... ugggg... must. resist. no. nooooooooooo! Sounds expensive. In the UK, FZ1's can be picked up for around £50 - £75. I also saw one with flight case for around that price. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Classic-1980s-CASIO-FZ-1-Digital-Sampling-Synthesiser-Keyboard-Case-/181282787560?pt=UK_MusicalInstr_Keyboard_RL&hash=item2a354bd0e8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chas Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Yeah - I don't buy anything from the 80's for much more than $100.. too risky.. I am also out of room. You and me both, except that still hasn't stopped me buying even more Casios... Today is going to be 'Casio Clearout' as I'm going to put one up for sale. Don't worry, it's a duplicate (Casiotone 403) so I'll be keeping the better condition example that still has all its white switch tips! I'm also going to try and sell a Korg i4S, which I only bought because it came paired with an HT6000 (rare beast!) and the buyer wouldn't split. Such dedication to my classic Casio cause that I even bought a Korg just to get a rare Casio! I have so lost count how many keyboards and guitars I now have...!

Display Name Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 I have so lost count how many keyboards and guitars I now have...! HA! I remember when my mother-in-law saw my new PX-5S she glanced over at my two Rolands and said (with a disapproving tone).. "So you have THREE keyboards now.. plus a piano?"... Thank God she didn't know about the two Yamahas, the Ensoniq, and Key RIg 49 that were in the other room waiting to be set-up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Saucier Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 From the PX-5S Facebook Group. Group member, Christian Cullen, shared this video of his appearance using the PX-5S on WGN TV in Chicago with Mike Reno and Jim Peterik. http://video.wgntv.com/Loverboys-Mike-Reno-Survivors-Jim-Peterik-perform-Working-For-The-Weekend-25532354?NDN.TRACKINGGROUP=91046&NDN.SITESECTION=NDN&NDN.VIDEOID=25532354&FREEWHEEL=91046&SITESECTION=NDN&VID=25532354#.UtltvdIo4dU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched it often when I was a kid. It aired on the "Nickelodeon" network. It was a kids quiz/physical challenge show called "Family Double Dare" and I'm pretty sure the Casio was the prize for completing one of the obstacles in the obstacle course at then end of the show. They gave away alot of cool little Casio's on that show back then. And that was way more than you ever needed to know about that TV show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Saucier Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 My Casio's are my babies that I'd recognize anywhere. I own it's slightly older twin, the WK-1250. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Saucier Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 It's actually kinda sad It's extremely sad! My WK-1250 flooded in a hurricane and no longer works and I've been wishing it still did. The one they destroyed was probably in good shape. A simple swap with me would've been sensible. Hey, maybe some of the parts inside are still OK! I just need the PCB's. Anyone know the number to WWE? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PianoManChuck Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Considering the fact that they destroy Rolls Royce's, Hummers, Limo's, and expensive musical instruments (not just digital pianos), I'd consider it good press that they only pick well-known names! To me, it looked like an empty shell anyway (just the case, no electronics within). Credit Jimi Hendrix and Pete Townsend with starting the whole "destroying your instruments" on stage.

Brad Saucier Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Oh, if the shell was empty then they probably pulled the parts. Tell 'em to send them to me. I have a shell to use them in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Display Name Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 This is a video I produced for Dave Bryce's "Don't Say Nothin'". Look for the rotoscoped Casio PX-5S at 3min 15sec.
