Dano has them along with G.C and other dealers. Tyros, PSr 3000, Tyros 2, etc are some of the keyboards that you can purchase the kit for. Bob L.


Survival kits are not available for the PSR3000 or Tyro's keyboards.

To be quite honest, Yamaha makes the value pak available to music stores to give us a competitive edge against Circuit City, Walmarts etc......

I too recieved an xtra 1 yr warranty by registering my PA-50 on line.(purch. 1 yr. ago) I wonder if Korg still offers this?

I agree with most that it is not worth the xtra$$. It is pure profit to the dealers/MFG. If anything goes wrong, it is usually right away with this type of product.
I had a bad lap-top purch experience from a major electrics retailer last yr when the salesman high pressured me to buy it and threatened me if there were pixels on the screen out of the box, I would be on my own if I didn't buy. I ended up going elsewhere and booted the unit up B-4 buying it.

If one feels they must have it, never never buy it from a 3rd party co.
