Dear friends, I'm an owner of a Kawai DX-900 that I love, nevertheless the percussion section have stopped working (missing notes for a long time, then nothing). 
The incriminated integrated circuit is the LM 8671 (divider/gate/command 42 pin circuit).
Is there someone here who knows where I can find some of those circuits ? I've searched everywhere on the net, even sent emails to some industrials specialized for old parts, impossible to find anything. I've read from 2 old closed topics in this forum that some people finally found some last ones chips,...I've also sent several private messages to those people...but didn't get any answer unfortunately...i'm a bit desperate...
So if someone here had the same experience, and knows where to find few LM8671, that would simply save my organ and make me happy. Or if someone bought another Kawai for spare parts for another technical reason or had a faulty Kawai, and would be kind enough to sell me a board...I know that most of the models of the DX and E series share those circuits. If E-150 and DX-100 were equipped with (that's the case), of course bigger models had some. Any ideas ?
I've already post this topic on "repair and restoration" section of this forum, but Andy Gilbert kindly suggest me to post it here too, because there will be more people to read it, and as I don't need technical explainations but I'm only searching people which had the same issues, and which would share their experience and adresses to find the chip.
Rejoice to get some help and informations...
Keep me in touch, guys and keep playing vintage organs !
