    Yamaha was still selling them a while back. If not, then there is an article in the Tech Tips that describes how to make one.

    If you haven't already checked them out, the tech tips make for good reading and repair methods of some common problems.

      I bought one form my Yamaha dealer about 6 months ago. I will check to see if i still have the part number. It was under $5.00.

            I have since updated that tech tip to show part numbers and other options. All of the old tech tips should be here, ONLY the tips on the forum are updated.

            Here is the link:
