I do my best.

I think I'll just slap in a 4 or 5 pin XLR instead. Got some of them lying around here.

According to this http://www.oceanbeach.com/ches/daves_gear/cp70ps.html you need an XLR-2A-11C.

If you google the part number you will find a few online retailers (not in aus).

Was also thininking that you could possibly drill out an existing 3 pin plug and move the connectors - not sure though.

For more general cp70 parts this guy is good - http://www.pianochopshop.com/- very reasonable postage as well.

Cheers for that.

I think that might be a bit messy however. Prob easier to replace both the socket and plug with a different type (non 3 pin) of XLR.

I did see that shop.. looks good. I'll be needing a push rod and a few other bits.

I've got a tub of random XLR-ish connectors, don't think there were any 2-pin's in there, but worth a look.

Hi Mike

Just wondering if you ended up solving the CP-70 p/s issue, and if so, how you went about it in the end?

I need to do the same thing, and can't find anyone stocking the original Cannon 2 pole connector (US suppliers currently show zero in stock).

Did you end up replacing the original 2 pole socket on the piano with some other variation of an XLR?

Any help appreciated,

Neil Thomason

Hey,
I ended up installing a 4 pin XLR instead.

I needed to file the hole out a little so the xlr socket could fit.. and I think I may have needed to drill two new screw holes.

But it was pretty painless in the end..

Best of luck
Mike
