The power connector looks pretty standard but I haven't looked into the power supply specs or options yet. I had an XK1 not a 3 but to me the keyboard feel is even better. The drawbars feel great to me on the SK1. Again I don't know that they are identical in feel to the XK1 these seem a bit smoother to me.

Well if it's a standard voltage and current rating AND if they don't use any sort of proprietary power connector on the
keyboard end...you should be able to pick up a spare pretty cheap. I really hate it when companies use those "impossible
to find" connectors forcing you to buy their $200 power supply which is actually a $30 supply built in Taiwan.
How are the drawbars and keyboard compared to the XK-3 series? I have only seen the SK in pictures on the web.
Have fun with your new keyboard!

Cheers,

Gary

Hi Gary,

Yes, the power supply is external on the SK1. It's the type with a small brick and hard wired lead for the keyboard connection coming from one end and a detachable EIC power cord from the other end. Not as clean and convenient as an board supply like the E3. But that unfortunately seems to be the exception with most gear.

Hi Jay,

Did I see something a couple of posts back about "spare power cords" being a problem? Does this mean that
the SK series uses a "wall wart" power supply. I understand why they do this in cheaper electronica to avoid
the UL testing & certification expense but on anything but a home keyboard that isn't moved this could be a
problem. You can get a replacement IEC cord for 3 bucks (and easily carry spares) but what do you do if a
power supply gets lost or fails? ....that is assuming that the SK ~does~ use a wall wart.

Thanks,

Gary
