Dissecting the KE-5

[droffset]

I got this keyboard for 6 dollars, it's mentioned at the TableHooters site here by another name, but it's the same one all right.

I'm studying this one because it's not an SK-1 or anything people have heard of lately. It's a no-name basic old keyboard and I'm going to attempt to bend the holy crap out of it.

Before i go any further cutting into lines and drilling holes i thought it might help other people to document the insides of this thing. I've learned so much from poking around this keyboard and researching the ICs contained within that i can only encourage people to pick an old keyboard of moderate complexity like this one and take the time to study it.

I have lots of notes and ideas on which pins to do what to, but that's for another time.

Here are some images:
