I found the motherboard in GREECE, because I had a friend keyboard player and it cost a lot more then what it was here, but that's not why I wrote this post, the reason that I write this article is for my fellow musician to wake up and start realizing that these companies keep reinventing the wheel and we are buying this junk.
I still have a GEM WK8 which is probably over 20 years old and nothing has happened to that, no switches, no motherboards, nothing has gone wrong other then the tempo encoder which I did not find anywhere, and this keyboard has been in so many smokey and very humid environments. Why did KORG make the I30 and the Pa80 very sturdy? and make the Triton Extreme flimsy? now the only reason that I stayed with KORG is the patches that circulated over the years which I cannot replicate on other brands, or else I would of abandoned them many years ago.
