    My wife finally gave me permission to dig into her
    EG-20 whose upper keyboard stopped working.

    The problem, as I suspected, was a disconnected (ribbon)
    cable under the keyboard.

    I was amused at the 68000 CPU in the electronics section,
    I used to teach assembly language using that processor.
    Had undergrads write Pong for the Mac in assembly.

    Took me 3 seconds to fix the cable but an hour to fit the
    wood-veneer particleboard cover back on.

    Now my 4 year old will be able to learn more than
    "music for left hand" or bass lines, once he is able
    to concentrate for more than a few minutes.
    I suppose some rockers never achieved this, and for
    them there are MIDI sequencers, no? :)

    PS: there are 2" diam tubes (ports) connecting the
    built-in speakers to the central volume, that's
    how they get the nice sound reproduction.
