Hi guys, I am new here so I hope I am not putting this in the wrong place. Anyway I am thinking about purchasing a clavinet and have already found someone
willing to sell me one. It is the E7 (in black case) and looks pretty good except the battery cover is gone. The only problem with it is when he showed it to
me, everything worked excellent until he pushed the "Brilliant" switch and the sound just went dead. All the other buttons and knobs work great and
the thing sounds terrific. He is asking 1K for it... Anybody know what the problem could be? Is it something bad? Should I still buy it even if he lowers the
price? Thanks guys!

Sounds minor to me. Could just be a broken wire to that switch, or a very dirty switch. a grand sounds a tad high. Have the hammer tips been replaced? Probably
not. Do the keys seem to stick a bit to the strings? Have a little sound after you've let go? Then add $50 and a few hours of your time. Does it have the
legs, cover, music stand? If not, that'll cost you too. For 1000 I'd expect it to be pretty damn good. 6-800 would be better since you can't be
100% sure until you get into it. Pricing can fluctuate wildly depending on your location and timing of the sale. How would you feel about paying a g for the
funkiest instrument of all time?
Good luck! |

I agree, it's probably just a dirty switch contact.

Sweet thanks for the replies! So you think some contact cleaner will do the trick?

Use dexoit or get the eurotool brush from the online store. Regular contact cleaner will melt the plastic.
