Looking for a Nord Wave 1 Panel Board

Post by Supersaw »

Hello

My Nord Wave 1 is cosmetically in great shape, but unfortunately the panel board (the top board with all the controls and the display) is defect and beyond repair. The Mainboard and everything else works fine (was able to test that), but I can't use the synth anymore since the panel board is broken.

According to Clavia support the panel board cannot be ordered anymore, so I wanted to ask if someone might sell nord wave parts? It really would be a pity if I had to throw this synth into the bin...

Thank you for your reply!

I guess it will be difficult to find spare parts for this synth but who knows, if you be patient and keep searching something may turn up.
However, in the occasion that you are not lucky, you could still sell the parts that work instead of throwing it to the bin.

I can confirm that new replacement Wave panelboards do not exist, having encountered a similar situation on my end. Fortunately, the person I encountered who was in need of the same thing --- that panelboard was not beyond repair and a skilled tech was able to restore it to operating condition.

good luck, and as Alex78 suggested, your worst case scenario would be to hang onto the parts you have and offer them for sale to others in need. That mainboard will be valuable to someone someday. Or keep your eyes out for someone else's damaged instrument who needs to part theirs out.

good luck and bless, pablo
