AJ's Musical Instrument Repair

Well, it's been a while, but between gigs and family life, I'm still here performing expert repairs, setups, and mods (at client's requests) on all types of guitars, bass guitars, mandolins, ukuleles, electronic keyboards/synths, amps, PA speakers, effects pedals, etc... I'm also going to attempt to change the name of this page soon to the all-encompassing title of, "A.J's Instrument Repair Shop". (If FB will allow me to do so. So far, I can't figure out how to do it from my phone. Lol!) Hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving! Here are a few pics of 2 keyboard repair jobs I just completed. The Korg CX3 had a blank display screen. I found a blown surface mounted mini fuse on the circuit board. Replaced, and it's as good as new! The other one is a 1996 Kurzweil PC88 that is heavy AF, and took up my entire work bench! It had a no sound issue. But, the problem was in a power distribution connection with 3 of its 10 pins having cracked solder joints. Solved! But then I also found a hammer weight that had broken off, and that fell out the side when I opened up the casing. They don't make new parts for this cool dinosaur anymore, so I found one in good condition on Ebay for around $11. Installed & solved! Then, I found quite a few squeaky and noisy keys. This happens when grease dries up. So, I pulled out all 88 keys, lined them up in order, and cleaned out the key bed, and lubed up all points that required the pure silicone grease that I applied. No more squeaks/noise, and the action feels like new again! I'm located in the NW 'burbs of Philly, near Glenside, Erdenheim, Cheltenham, Wyndmoor, etc... Let me know what you need serviced by connecting with me in a PM. (I do that first to screen out the scammers.) Happy Holidays!!!
