Hi, I`m trying to build a replacement unit since I`ve lost my original PSU for PC2X.
I`m looking for someone with original PM0025-001 so he could measure the output with DVM and tell which pins have +9V/-9V and 14V

Contact Kurzweil Support.

They’re excellent at providing legacy support for DIY repairs.

Kurzweils are like Subarus.

Their longevity is their best endorsement.

Just visit their website and follow the links.

I’m on my phone and can’t do it for you.

my search came up with these two options: (e-mail address removed) or (e-mail address removed).
Are they even close?​

The Kurzweil link is bang on.

The other might be a local distributor.

They might not handle legacy products.

There are also used parts places on the web who might have one in stock and don’t forget to check EBay.

Item is listed here as out of stock but you can add yourself to a waiting list.


They might be able to provide a pinout as well.

Here's one for sale in stock for ridiculous money.

Why not open up the keyboard and do a little detective work?

Voltages should b e silkscreened on the circuit boards.

The whole point is to eliminate the guesswork.

You may try to find them by the schematics
Search "service manual pc2x" by google and you will find them

The service manual is exactly the source of my concerns: pin numbering of the Krycon connector there totally contradicts the numbering scheme of the Krycon ltd. itself. Like according to Krycon pins go clockwise as 3-1-2-4 but Kurzweil lists them as 3-4-1-2

Krycon or Kycon ?
I just find Kycon: https://cloud.kycon.com/website/index.html

Do you know if PM0024-001 (9Vdc - 1,75A) is the same of PM0025-001 ?

Yep, definitely Kycon KPPX-4P.
Thanks, have seen that topic.
Firstly that guy has a faulty PSU, secondly and more importantly according to his observation the Kurzweil schematics counts the pins in wrong order (but mysteriously all the other stuff like voltage regulators uses manufacture`s pin assignment) and rotates the voltages on the connector to 180 degrees. o_O So I really need a second opinion from another actual PSU owner.
As for PM0024-001 vs PM0025-001 the label and connector look identical (both dual voltage 9DC and 14AC) so they are probably the same thing. :cool: Maybe? ;)

I found PM0024 is for 230 Vac, PM0025 for 120 Vac
In Italy we have 230 Vac

I am still investigating about pinout
