Hello everyone! I found a WEY HK2000 on Ebay for a good price. But I know that these models need an external box and some rare cables to work. Do you know where to find them? Also, do you know if it's possible to "remove" the PIN and let the keyboard start?

the cables can be found on ebay, there is a German seller, just search wey tec and they will come up, have tried to find the cable elsewhere but no luck a different cable i also ordered from Germany had the wrong number of pins. As for the control box i can't help you there.

I've been on and off watching these WEY for a while... (a few years)
What is missing is the specialized cable - not to be bought from the seller nor easily found elsewhere.
