Hi all.
I have 2 casio synths in my collection. A VZ1 and a CZ101. The VZ was second hand and the CZ I bought brand new a long time ago. I have 3 problems with the VZ -
1. The display has a fault on one of the lines.
2. The Line Out L and R are intermittent, quiet and crackly at best
3. The rubber key contacts are shot.
Number 1 is no major problem, but the other two are.
I`m a fairly amatuer electronics person but I know my way around enough to fix certain problems, but my guess is that with 2, maybe the op amps have a problem, but the headphone outputs are fine, which is how its connected at the moment.
Number 3 is real pain as I cant use the keys, and I have to use it as a glorified rack unit, and I`d like to be able to use it as a controller keyboard, rather than using my Roland piano. I have cleaned the pads and circuit boards at least 3 times, all to no avail.
Hopefully some of you out there can suggest a fix for the last two
