"This is for something you don't see very often, in fact you'll probably never see another one of these again! This is a control / switch board for a Korg KPR77 drum machine that has had every one of the original tactile switches replaced with a new switch. Unlike the original switches, the new ones are sealed so they won't become full of dust particles and start either triggering randomly, double triggering or just not responding at all. These are also rated at 10 million clicks over their lifetime, which is something like 10 times what the original switches could supposedly deal with!
If you own a KPR77 you'll probably have noticed that half the front panel buttons now only work using steam hammer pressure and even if you can get them to work they are more than a little unreliable. With this replacement board it's like you've got a brand new drum machineIt will take some soldering to remove the 12 way ribbon cable connector for the old board and install this new one but if you can use a solder sucker or solder wick with even the most basic proficiency then its a very easy job. We would be quite happy to install this for you for a small fee if you wanted to send your unit to us, but if we mention that here then ebay will just take down the auction for some reason. Get in contact if you want any more details. Other than that, installing this board is as difficult as unscrewing the old one, pulling off the button caps and sticking them on the new board."
