Hey all, look a K250 question in 2019!!
I hope someone can help. I have a K250 that my father in law bought new ma=
ny years ago and kept it in pristine condition in his studio until he passe=
d it to my wife and it went into storage. Anyway, we just pulled it out of=
storage and set it up for my son who is thrilled to have a weighted 88 key=
keyboard in his room for late night rock piano practice. We plugged it in =
and turned it on and everything seemed to work flawlessly except=E2=80=A6
3 keys don=E2=80=99t work at all, 2 keys work intermittently (they sometime=
s play then go out with repeated presses), and one of the lower octaves see=
ms to play quieter. I=E2=80=99m guessing its either a connection, dust/dir=
t, or corrosion issue with the problem contacts. I haven=E2=80=99t cracked=
the case yet, as I hoped to find some guidance on the internet first on wh=
at to do, look for, and not to do. I called Sweetwater and they referred m=
e an authorized Kurzweil service center (that is closed until after the new=
year). Unfortunately, I can=E2=80=99t find much amount the K250.
Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.
Christian
