Well I gave up. It was probably repairable. But I was not able to get a Casio part number or part. I found a couple of shops that were willing to take on the job. But that was completely cost prohibitive. So I sold the WK6500 for probably less than half what it would have been worth in good working order.

Jokeyman123, thanks for the response. I appreciate a sense of humor. I did take the case apart. 31 screws is all it takes. The key itself seems to be just like new. But the contact pad under it was partially collapsed. That is going to have to be replaced. I don't know if there is supposed to be a return spring inside that rubber pad. But I somehow doubt it. It looks easy enough to replace. But I have had NO luck finding anybody that can give me a drawing with part numbers or even tell me where to buy parts. You can see the part in my photo. (sorry about the auto focus issue) Anyway, only that pad has partially failed.The rest of the keys feel like new. If the keys were 3/8 inch longer, it would be an instrument rivaling some of the best electronic keyboards I have ever played. Excepting hammer action stuff of course.

I have many electronic keyboards. 4 of them are Casio Arranger keyboards. Until now they have been pretty much bullet proof. The WK6500 has a high G key that plays only full velocity and does not return to full height after playing. I am fairly sure that the pad under the key is bad. How can I repair this? And where can I buy the part? Or do I just chuck it and buy another instrument?

I want to use the rotary DSP on the XW-G1. I have worked hard to eliminate almost all outboard pedals from my stage rig. I can see in the edit screen that there are 2 speeds and the "spin up time" and "spin down time" are adjustable. But for the life of me I can't figure out how to change the speed while I am playing. It isn't in the manual that I got. Nor has that been included in any of the videos that I have watched. I am beginning to think that the stuff is there but you just can't use it. Stephe
