Our Church's MOTIF ES is officially history. The repair guy at our local official Yamaha repair center quoted Yamaha's price for a new main board at over $1,000. He said that even if he installed it, he could not guarantee that the kbd would work, since he feels it has other issues (he can't prove it, but he thinks it may have taken a hit from a power surge or lightning). So, we have a cosmetically perfect MOTIF ES7 that doesn't work, but looks great. Anyone need spare parts?

We're looking at the KORG Pa588 as a replacement - hearing Dave's positive remarks about his makes me even more interested in this 88 key arranger. It may just be what we need.
