Okay. Was sent a lovely Casio SK-1 keyboard in the post. From a friend in the States. Ahhhh.
It requires a 7.5 Volt adapter or five batteries. Tried out some batteried but it didn't work. Bugger, but anyway. Many models are so old and naffed that they only work via the adapter line in.
So i want an AC adapter for 7.5V. Korean voltage is of course different. Balls.
So how would I go about kitting this thing out and making lovely Prince-covering noises?

| I would check Lemon's Guide to Yongsan shopping and find one there. |

Hey, that's one of those grody sampling keyboards, isn't it? Has a second or two of sample memory, low res... but they're cool as an effect.

Most Korean cities, and neighbourhoods in Seoul, have electronics stores. I don't mean those big Samsung places that sell fridges, but the tiny dirty mom and pop ones with the old UHF antennas and 1980s stereos in the window. I'd hit one of those - they might have an adapter that fits the socket, matches the polarity and will do 7.5 volts. Sometimes you can get multi-voltage adapters that do the trick. Take the unit with you so they can try many. |
