Never had a complete failure in more than 20 years of gigging under some of the worst conditions. I remember when I was talking with Hank Bowman one night and he told me his PSR-2000 had a drinking problem. Said on at least two occasions someone dumped a full vodka martini into the keyboard. Both times he opened the case, dried it out with a hair dryer and went back to work the next day. Amazing how much abuse these things can take without falling apart.

My current backup is my 12-year old PSR-3000. It has never skipped a beat in all those years. I recently had to replace one of the foot pedal jacks, which in reality didn't fail, but the solder joint was faulty and the service guy just replaced the jack. Cost a whopping $65 and I was out of the repair shop in less than an hour. Can't beat that for service.

Cheers,

Gary
