Of course I understood your truck example...it just isn't relevant in my case...I can't speak for Gary or anyone else.

Ian

Plenty of people with high end arranger problems, too, when treated and transported poorly.

I am amazed at how poor a case some folks get for an expensive, heavy TOTL arranger (if any!), or how few cover their investment in a waterproof (drink-proof!) cover.

And remember, mass makes a difference when dropped or knocked... Drop a cockroach 20ft and it will walk away like nothing happened. Drop an elephant 20ft, you got a dead elephant! Extend that analogy to keyboards and you realize how much MORE you need to protect a heavy arranger...

I think Ian has got it right... You treat a PSR good, it will hold up as well as most other arrangers. But, because of the price, FAR more PSR's sold than G70's. And FAR more PSRs are in uncaring hands than G70's. And so, FAR more problems...

It kind of makes sense...

Fran,

A real pro contractor would have put a bed liner in the truck to protect it damage and retain its value over the ensuing years. Additionally, he would likely have installed plastic floor mats to protect the carpeting, washed the truck regularly to keep the crud from erroding the paint job, done regular tuneups, oil changes, tire rotations, etc.. Then, after many years of use, that truck would be worth nearly as much as he paid for it. Wow! Ain't it amazing. Last week I couldn't spell pro--now I are one.

Wow talk about a "HIJACK"

The hi-est Jack I ever met was the fellow in the seat across the aisle who had imbibed a copious amount of rye on a Canada-UK flight.

Lets see now. Zuki asks for help with a keyboard problem, a few of us try to provide some technical assistance, solutions that are viable, and may save him some money and time in the future. Squeak jumps in and begins downing Yamaha, then Fran turns it into a sarcastic pissing contest. Yep, that really makes me want to visit here on a regular basis.

See Ya!

Well, I happened to be the problem here

Each time I pack up my adapter, I 'wrap' it up. This created a bend in the wire, which basically broke right before the black casing. I didn't notice the break until today. It was ALL my fault. I just have to reattached the wires now.

Rock on 3K I love this board

zuki

Wow Gary, I didn't see it that way..I think Zuki got the info he needed..and suggestions and views were legitimate pro and con...

I hope we do see ya...
