Hi, I have an older Korg M3 that has the well documented worn off text issue on some buttons. I know that Korg took ownership of the issue and offered free replacement sets to owners in the US.
I am wondering if you have access to any of these? Being in New Zealand we didn’t get any free replacements!
Cheers, Allister.
Unfortunately, it looks like the M3 buttons are no longer available from Korg. Sorry!
I used a steady hand and a black Sharpie. Looks like crap but I can read it now.
Well its over 5 years later now, and back then I did manage to find a complete set of replacement buttons (there were actually 2 sets, one left side and one right side). I got them from the Korg official repair centre here in Auckland New Zealand.
I was lucky to find some, and I think the procedure to replace was just a case of carefully pulling the old ones out(no need to open the synth) and popping in the new ones. My M3 is still going strong today with zero worn text issues!
