Is this a good price for a KN-7000 at Guitar Center , classified as in "Good" condition (It does have a pretty good chunk near the floppy drive.


I'm sorta looking around, as I use to own one, and would now like to have one again. Kind of like getting my ol' car back

Just my thoughts around the topic.....

I've been lurking for a long time to add a Technics again.
Mainly because of nostalgia and that all the KN software that's now is stored 'useless' in the vault....
However, time has passed by, and lately and personally I've came to the conclution that I'll rather go for newer stuff, as an example, add a Korg PA4X.
Also thinking about the floppydrive technology that is quite obsolete (even if KN7K has SD card reader) and it may be hard to get things repaired and parts replaced because of age.

I think this item was pretty high priced, I've seen several items here at $700 or so. Also it has a damage (hit the floor?).

That said, still there is no brands that match the great Technics userfriendliness. Even a dumbass like me managed to master it fairly well. 😁

There having a laugh, $250 would be way over the top even in perfect condition, and with that damage I wouldn’t go over $100. (The KN7000 is coming up to 20yrs old now)

Yes, I thought it was over priced too, especially with the damage. Like Gunnar, I was feeling nostalgic, and wouldn't mind having one, as they were pretty awesome keyboards.

Still got my 2 KN7000s and wouldn't part with them for all the tea in China !! In my opinion, still the best sounding keyboard with a really user friendly operating system - especially when you want to create your own backing styles. The SD Card system and the USB computer interface make the Floppy disc mostly redundant.

KN7000s appear on eBay fairly regularly here in UK and are usually priced between £400 and £1000 ( US$524 and US$1310) depending on condition and accessories included in the sale.

Like other opinions in this thread, I think that the one you refer to is way overpriced in view of the damage... who knows what other internal damage it has sustained....

If you can find a decent KN7000 Larry, go for it - I'm sure you won't regret it.

Thanks Bill, I remember you and this forum from way back when. Maybe someday if I can find a decent KN7000, I'll be back

Having realised that the rhythms on my KN7000 are rather dated I have had great fun during the lockdown converting other manufacturers more recent song specific styles to Technics. The list is now over 200 long so I won't list it here but if anyone wants to know...just shout...Rog
p.s. I've attached just one - Beautiful by Christina Aguilera - which is zipped.

Hi Rog,

I'm shouting !!
