My name is Major Coleman III, and I work for a company called Life Challenge Ministries. It's a non-profit company that helps people who deal with life-controlling addictions, and we do that as a Bible Institute that promotes the life-saving power of Jesus. My purpose of joining today is because the foot pedal on our SX-PR604 was accidentally broken off in the process of moving it, which you'll see in the attached picture. We use this keyboard every Mon-Fri morning during our morning worship services, and my boss has made it my priority to find a replacement. So far I've found a pedal that Guitar Center claims will work with this assembly (http://www.guitarcenter.com/M-Audio/SP-2-Sustain-Pedal.gc), but it doesn't look like the original. So my boss may go for the cheap substitute, but I'd really like to find a true replacement, or figure out a way to repair the original. Thank you all for your time, and God Bless.

SX-PR604 Foot Pedal Part2So I went to Guitar Center and showed them the broken foot pedal, and in return I received a look of confusion that I imagine would match the one I would've seen if I had a mirror in front of me the moment I looked at the end of the cord that plugs into the SX-PR604. It's not your usual 1/4" plug (because that would make this whole process easier and no one wants that. It's what I would normally refer to as an S-Video cord, but I've never seen one attached to a foot pedal. Actually I've never seen one that has anything to do with anything audio. I attached a pic for reference.

Re: SX-PR604 Foot PedalHi, I tried to contact you last night but the internet was down at home, however you are correct the pedal assembly does not have a standard connection this is because the unit has more than just switches behind the pedals. There are electronic circuits also so the standard 1/4" jack type will not do,unfortunately as you may be aware that Technics/Panasonic stopped production of musical back in 2004. so it is doubtful that spares are still in stock, might be worth a try asking Panasonic USA. the only other way is to find a scrap instrument or a keyboard engineer with a spare pedal as from your picture it is the end of the pedal that is damaged,or do you know any who is a good metal worker who may be able to repair the part as you have a pattern to work off. Sorry it's not great news,because the PR is a great instrument.

Re: SX-PR604 Foot PedalI would suggest you find someone with some mechanical skills to reassemble the pedals for you. The pedal itself is just an extension of the internal parts and as such you have two working pedals to copy so realistically it should be easy to put back together. The pedal itself is only on a fulcrum with a contact that closes when you press the key so it isn't exactly a complicated set of parts. You should have a compression spring, a couple of pieces of plastic like a saddle clamp that sits on top of the pedal and a slightly smaller block that goes under it. The pedal itself sits in a slot at the back of the pedal unit with the spring and the clamp holding the whole thing together. All the pedals are made in the same way so a little workshop should be able to make whatever bits you don't have.
