Music Holders |
| Casio Music Holders (also called music rests) for the portable keyboard models that are manufactured in two types. One type is the metal music rest which plugs into two support holes on the top of about 100 different 49 and 61 note size keyboard models built over the years and have a spread of 17 inches where they insert to the support holes allowing you to prop up a book or music sheet against its metal frame. The other style of Casio Music Holders are made of plastic and vary in their width ranging from 18 5/8 inches to 20 inches wide. At one time there were 5 sizes of these however some are now permanently discontinued by their Asian manufacturers. We currently stock 3 sizes of these plastic models which are new, not used. The plastic Casio music holders, sometimes called note stands, insert into a groove or slot on the top of certain Casio Keyboards. Some of the slots on varied models have 3 indentations inside the slot and that would require the 18 5/8 inch size with protruding legs to slip into the groove. A few piano models require the plug in base of the holder to be 18 5/8 inches wide, while many models on other Casios insert into the groove that can be up to 20 inches wide.

AC Adapters, Receptacles, Cords |
| USED CASIO ADAPTER model AD-E95100LU. This is the 9 1/2 volt adapter for use with many of the newer casio instruments, not the older vintage models which have a differt size connection on the end of its cable. JUST $14 and mailng anywhere in the USA is included in this price. Little use, like new condition. GENERIC ADAPTER REPLACEMENT FOR OLDER CASIOS NEEDING THE 9 VOLT ADAPTERS. We have removed the newer size connection on the end of these adapters and replaced it by soldering on a new longer cable with the old size connection plug. This extends the overall length of the cable to nearly 16 feet long. The extra lenth of this cable is real handy if you are not close to a wall socket to plug the adapter in. It can eliminate using an extension cord. This item is new, not used. The new Casio adapters currently available have a connection size on its plug that does not fit on a huge number of old Casio keyboards, this one solves that problem. Just $23 and this includes mailing within the USA. No tax required if this mails outside the State of California. Call to order with a credit card during the day in California to 949-548-6784.

Generic Version of CASIO ADAPTER MODEL AD-E95100LU. This brand new adapter is just $17.99 and includes the mailing to you if you are within the USA. Same performance-lower cost. RECEPTACLE JACKS to install inside the keyboard. We have the new replacement receptacle jacks that fit inside nearly all Casio keyboard instruments. These jacks are the ones that the power supply adapter plugs into on the back of the keyboard and has a center pin. It is very common that the center pin inside this jack gets broken and the electrical connection to the keyboard is interrupted, thus the instrument plays intermitantly or not at all. These jacks are NOT real easy to replace and we recommend a person like an electronic technician change these out. They require unsoldering and resoldering of the new part on three contact areas. This new part is $5 each and First Class Mailing for this package is $3 It mails as a package even though it fits in a normal business size envelope with protection due to the thickness when inside the envelope. The total is $8. AC ADAPTER REPLACEMENT CABLE (Called Splice Cable) -Pets often chew through the wire on Casio AC adapters making them not usable. Vacuuam cleaners also are a common reason the power adapter wire gets broken. We have an inexpensive way to repair this with our Adapter splice cable. It is also easy to fix. Just snip the wire to eliminate the broken section, and splice on the replacement cable to the remaining wire which is still connected to the adapter. Be sure to tape the spliced connections to prevent electrical shorts. There are only two connections to splice on the wire. If you splice them incorrectly, the adapter will not work, just reverse the connected wires. This is not a dangerous repair since the voltage is very low passing through this wire, either 7.5 9 or 12 volts depending on the adapter model. A standard size jack which connects to all Casios which use adapters from 1978 to 2010 is included and fixed on one end of the splice cable. On the opposite end of the splice cable are two stripped wires ready to connect to make your old adapter power your Casio Keyboard again. The Splice cable is $4 and mailing is $3 by First Class Mail, total is $7.00. CASIO SB-60/62 Data Transfer Cable-This cable is used to transfer data from Casio personal organizers and graphic calculators equipped with that ability. Share data without additional hardware or software on compatible Casio models. The models are all Executive BOSS, all BOSS, Digital Diary Models SF-4300, 4400 and SF-5100, width='100%' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0' align='center'> |
