travlin'easy Senior Member Registered: 12/08/02 Posts: 15576 Loc: Forest Hill, MD USA	I carried a spare keyboard, a duplicate PSR 3000, in the van for 10 years - It never came out of the case. When I purchased the S950, I ended up giving my primary 3000 to my son. I still have the other 3000, sitting in the office beneath a dust cover. Total failures of a modern, arranger keyboard are as rare as hen's teeth. The only failures I ever seen were keypad and power supply failures. I always carried a spare power supply and still have a couple sets of keypads. If you carry a single keyboard, no backup board, at least carry a netbook or laptop so you can DJ in the event of a keyboard failure at a planned event such as a wedding or large, private party. For NH jobs, the AD will usually be more than happy to reschedule the job for a later date. Good luck, Gary _________________________ PSR-S950, TC Helicon Harmony-M, Digitech VR, Samson Q7, Sennheiser E855, Custom Console, and lots of other silly stuff!

travlin'easy Senior Member Registered: 12/08/02 Posts: 15576 Loc: Forest Hill, MD USA	It has been cooler in Florida than it has in Maryland this summer. It's 12:30 PM and the current temperature is 94 in the shade. It will easily hit 100 degrees f here today with the humidity of about 65 percent - just like stepping into a steam bath. I was out on the boat for the past three days, but came home early because of the excessive heat and code red air pollution alert, which is not at all good for folks with bad lungs. Think I'll spend the day in the office today and do some paperwork that I've been neglecting.

saxxman Senior Member Registered: 10/15/05 Posts: 1433 Loc: Niceville, FL USA	Gary - you're right - FL has been great this summer.... and with all the rain we have gotten I believe we will have another pretty Fall season. Trees here can get beautiful in the Fall given the right circumstances. Enjoy avoiding the heat and have a couple nips of Kickapoo Joy Juice for us! _________________________ ------------------------------------- Randy PA4X, SX900 (Baby Genos), Roland U-20, L1 Compact, Way 2 Many Saxes "My computer beats me routinely at chess - but it's NO MATCH for me at kick boxing!"

saxxman Senior Member Registered: 10/15/05 Posts: 1433 Loc: Niceville, FL USA	Guys - thanks for the kind words! Well, I am about to quit my "day job" and become an arranger addict and then I will be able to spend more time on this great forum! I will get my first Social Security check next Wednesday.... hmmmmm PA4X? HA HA! Maybe so! Would be a great retirement start! I did post an ad for my PA900 on Craigslist but in this neck of the woods, an arranger keyboard is as rare as King Tut's Scepter! But you never know...there may be a musical archeologist in the neighborhood..... _________________________ ------------------------------------- Randy PA4X, SX900 (Baby Genos), Roland U-20, L1 Compact, Way 2 Many Saxes "My computer beats me routinely at chess - but it's NO MATCH for me at kick boxing!"
