Korg SP-300 info needed

[Mick Bailey]

Does anyone know how to take the back off to change the DC socket?

[Jazz P Bass]

It is not so much 'taking off the back' as 'taking off the top'.

Opening the SP300 is fairly straightforward. You need to take off the screws going into the bottom panel, then you can remove the front bar, and then the wood bottom. There are three types of screws. The larger machine screws hold the keybed assembly to the wood bottom. The side panel screws are longer wood screws. A third set of screws runs along the back.

Mick,

I have the service manual but it is too large to post. PM me if you want it & I will email it to you.

[Mick Bailey]

Ah! Thanks. As usual with keyboards, no nod towards servicability. And when it's opened up the cables are so tight you can't easily work on anything - like stroking a dog through a letterbox.

Drewline Hello. I have a Korg Sp-300 and I'd like to clean under the rubber contacts, because one of my keys produces maximum volume when touched. I started disassembling the piano, but i just can't remove the keys (after removing the wooden plate) and I'd really not prefer having to remove all screws from the buttom, inside part. I can't seem to send you a private message, to ask for that service manual, because I've just registered. Can you help me out in some way? How do i remove the keys? I've searched all over google, but none of the tutorials could help me, the keys are fixed in a way that seems very different from other mechanisms.
Thank you in advance,
András

Ravaszdi,
Send me your email address so I can email the manual to you.

[Mick Bailey]

I don't think he can - he said he can't PM you because he's only just registered.

He can't start a PM but I think he can respond to one. Drewline if you send him a PM he should be able to reply with his email address.

Thank you everyone, Drewline successfully sent me the manual via e-mail. However, the manual doesn't provide any assistance in the disassembly of the interior of the piano. I guess It was meant for professionals who already know their way around a digital piano. Does anyone have any idea on how should I remove the keys? Should I share some photos?

[The Dude]

Yes, photos would help. Are you trying to remove the entire key assembly, or just some keys?

Hi there,
Does anyone own the service manual or the schematics of the sp 300?
And could share it?
Thanks

[Drewline]

Mr Migoo,
Send me your email and I will send you the manual.

[Mr.Migoo]

Hi Drewline, I can't send you a PM, maybe because I'm new on the forum. Maybe I can answer if you send me a PM? Thanks for help.

[Drewline]

Post your email here for me .
