Unless you have a fairy godmother in the repair biz ..... expect to pay at least a $50 bench charge to look at it. Some guys are over $70 in Philly.

Everyone, if you want to pay $70.00 US for a key repair - Move to Philly !

It only cost me about a $100.00 canadian to repair a few screwed up key contacts and replace a couple of keys on my 01/W FD. But then of coarse we don't have electricity or running water in Canada and it also ****ing snows all the time..
Not to mention the polar bears everywhere !
But seriously, if it's $70.00 in Philly - then that's what you pay!
The only alternative is to play with the broken key, right?

Maybe I`ll take the keyboard myself even though I don`t know anything about whats inside.I`ll take it apart very carefully.I saw a picture of Roland G-1000`s front panel taken off there`s not that many stuff inside that can break, I think VA-76 will be almost the same as G-1000 inside.I`ll take it apart one day its not a big risk.I`ll do it very carefully.
I dont wanna take it to the shop because they can break it to, and it costs money and I don`t like to cary that heavy piece of crap(with one key that doesn`t work)around.
Any taken Roland boards apart(Arranger Keyboards),or, any suggestions?
