DX7II switches

Post by drumcat9800 » Sat Jan 28, 2012 5:12 pm

My new to me DX7 II has several of the tact switches that don't work or at least don't work very well. I plan on replacing them with new parts but would like to order the parts from one of the large electronics supply warehouses-(Digikey, Allied, etc).

So does anyone know exactly what part is the equivalent of the stock switches from the factory? I know they have 4 legs and are thru-hole mount, but does anyone have the dimensions and specs or better yet a link to a part that would work? You can buy some of these for as little as 7 cents a piece, so I'd like to go that way if possible.

Thanks!

So I've figured it out and thought I'd post a response to hopefully help others in the future. If you need replacement
tact switches for any of the buttons on a DX7 IID/FD/S . Here is what I used:

23 cents each and they are a drop in replacement and they work great.

I don't know if these will work with the original DX7 or not. Never worked on one of those yet.

Good luck!
