John & Roger.....

Thank you both very much for your responses to my post.

What I asked was, do those little round rubber things in the lid hide screws to take the lid apart for access to the tempo wheel? I do not want to possibly mar the lid if this is not the correct approach.

I do use the same SD cards in both 7K machines. All my PM registrations do have the proper tempo included for each piece I play....Once in awhile I need to change the tempo a bit. It has never been necessary to be "excessive and violent" in using the wheel.

Maybe there is a way to remove the part of the tempo wheel that protrudes from the 7K on the top of the machine to access the "rotary selector" or "Alpha wheel"? It makes more sense to me to take the lid apart for access.

While there is no "local service center" within 280 miles, there is a musician/computer saavy person who has offered to help if possible. Maybe he knows what a "pcb" might be. He is also a KB player though does not have a Technics.

Would the same parts be available in the 6K that could be used in the 7K?

Thank you again for your responses.
