Paul,

Thanks so much for your support. The new panel solved the issue. I tested it at the tech's shop and it seemed to get the upper function button working. Just installed it at home tonight and it is working like a champ!

Do you want the faulty panel back?

It has taken me 18 months to get this synth working. It is like new. The tech looked it over real well. I have all original packaging, manuals, foot pedal, cassette tape, etc. Looking forward to getting to use it.

Thanks again!

Opal
