Hi, DigiKey part no. 289-1032-ND It used to cost $12, but it's now closer to $20. DigiKey has processing fees under a certain amount, and the inverter isn't pin-compatible, so the board has to be adapted for the new inverter. I -might- order inverters in bulk and make adapters if enough people need them, but I would do this only in a few months or even in a few years. -- Antoine Deschênes 2009/5/12 akai_guy <knarfrelos-/[email protected]>: > The shop which is working on my K5 (CAE Sound in San Mateo, CA) is having trouble locating an inverter for my keyboard.
