Hi folks. At band rehearsal last night, (magic) smoke started coming out of the keyboard player's Nord Electro 2! Got a gig on Friday night, and we're buggered without keys :(

 

Total long shot, but does anyone have a couple of 4.7nF (4n7) X2 suppressing capacitors they could send me, like today, special delivery for tomorrow?

RS are the only local source I can see up here and surprise surprise, they're out of stock.

Update: I've bodged it.  At work I managed to find 2x 10nF X2 capacitors, so connected them in series for an effective 5nF which is hopefully close enough to 4.7nF for government work (or 'Spoons work at least).  Got proper replacements on order, but fingers crossed the bodge will be good enough (and the other one doesn't go pop in sympathy!) for tomorrow night!

 

Stand down emergency, I think.  Thanks for reading!
