Bought one at a yard sale for ten dollars, sold it for $167.00...alright synth , but the turn around price, made me sell it.

How about developing A VSTi version, Mr. Casio, if you're viewing this???

I had the 403 back in the day! My first proper keyboard. Brilliant bit of kit! Watching this brings back happy days. If Casio could bring back any retro synth, then yes please the 403!!

I have a casiotone 701 andonly the first two octaves from the left work. Any ideas on how this can be fixed?

I have a casiotone 701 but only the first two octaves from the left work. Any ideas how I can get the other keys working?

Hi Normally, these old casio's work on by splitting the chord section or auto accompanient with the higher octaves which are known as Solo's. It could be just one switch which is the problem, I would look at the Auto Accompanient or Auto Chord Switches first as these are the ones that split the keyboards into the two sections. They are the switches which get used the most, so would expect it to be a dirty contact, usually they're pretty much bulletproof.

I bought one in perfect condition for ten bucks at some redneck's garage sale haha. I love this keyboard so much.
