Hello,
I'm after a replacement drive unit for a Technics PX20 electric piano
and
am not getting very far with Panasonic. They have told me that the part
number is EAS16PL403A and that it is no longer available and there is no
replacement part. Admittedly the Piano was bought in 1989 so I'm not
surprised that they don't have spares.

Does anybody here know of a replacement that I could try (I'd obviously
replace both not just the blown one)?

Alternatively what details do I ask Panasonic for regarding the
specification of the speaker?

Full range or not?
Impedance?
Size?
Sensitivity?
Anything else?

Thank you

Hello David.

I am not familiar with the Technics PX20 but have had a similar problem
with a Roland stage piano, that is used professionally at 200 concerts a
year. The pianist uses the internal speakers as his own stage monitor,
with
the line level output going to the PA mix.

He complained of a "fuzzy" sound. I took the speaker out. No direct
replacements were available from Roland. It was a smallish eliptical,
stamped 10W 8 Ohms, so I bought a pair of 8 Ohm replacements from
a local component shop, which had half a dozen different speakers, all
of which would have fitted perfectly. I took the salesmans' advice,
and bought the best built with the heaviest magnet. As it turned out,
it was not the most expensive. The manufacturer was, IIRC, Monacor.

This was 6 months and nearly 100 concerts ago.
All is well.

Iain


Thank you Iain,

I shall have a look inside and try to find a suitable match.
