So... I just picked one up for a great price. It was a bit of an impulse buy, but the price was pretty darn nice, and the wife said "I think you should" (to my pleasant surprise). I know Jem isn't really a Kurzweil fan, but I seem to remember a few Kurz users here on this forum (Espen? Evil Dragon?). I have an old K2000R that I never use but haven't moved on because I'd always *like* to use it more as it has some nice sounds. I figure I have that covered now so I can get rid of the rack. Well, thats how I am justifying it to myself :)
Nothing important; just felt happy and wanted to share :)

I'm happy that you are happy. :)
Enjoy it! :)
Thanks guys. Evil Dragon, I have just been looking at your posts on another forum regarding your pitch wheel. Seems mine is similar - it returns to zero plus or minus about 40 cents (or more on the big octave patches). Maybe just dust, but I'm a little nervy now...

Maybe it's dust, but safest way of dealing with this is replacing the potentiometer. Contact Kurzweil support. ;)
Congrats! :D
I'm not really a K user, but I have a 2500R, and I only use it for that piano sound whenever I need something to cut through the most evil walls of sound, or whenever there's a bit of nostalgia. Those ol Rudess sounds etc...
I cracked it open, and it seems that the problem is a simple mechanical issue. The pitch wheel was cracked and so didn't grab the pot shaft quite tightly enough. Well, thats how it seems anyway - should be a cheap and simple enough fix.
Nice purchase! :)

All I knows is that that pot makes the keyboard more fun to play 8}

Really wouldn't do to confuse your pots, could lead to all sorts of problems :)
