Yeah I've ordered from Keyboard Story and Keypop before.  eBay is another option but the price is usually a bit higher since eBay take some cuts so the seller would put the price a bit higher  :(

98% of mine are from various vintage Cherry sourced through ebay, taobao and forum member sales and trades. Others are from groupbuys made by SP and a couple from imsto. Will have more from imsto once they are out of production.
