Hey all,
I'm looking for a roland D-50 keyboard (Circa 1987)
I'd prefer something that in bad physical condition or even not working.
I'm located in Sydney.

Regards
Mike

Hi Mike

I have a Roland E-20 that is working but with some broken keys in the upper register.

Cheers,
I should have been more specific.. I'm looking for a D-50 to help repair my broken D-50 in the off chance someone has one lying around.
I'm getting pretty close to fixing mine, just need to replace one SMD logic IC.. but there is still another issue to overcome.

Just out of interest, are the keys 'broken' as in snapped off, or just not working?

Regards
Mike

There are about 3 white keys that are snapped near the end, and about an octave and half of keys lifted up so they stick up, I was going to open her up and reseat them. I work at a school and they were going to chuck the keyboard out so I salvaged her before any more kids destroyed it completely.
