I show how to disassemble an ARP Omni 2 and remove all the circuit boards and the power supply. You can send your boards to me for recapping, service or repair so you can have an expert repair your synth without having to ship the whole heavy thing!
Analog synthesizer repair, parts, sales, and innovation. I buy broken synthesizers!

In this video, I give a demonstration to show the features and sounds of the ARP Omni 2 polyphonic analog synthesizer.
In this video I repair a broken ARP Omni 2 where 2 of the 8 voices were broken (Violin and 4′ Synthesizer). I show how the synthesizer works and where common problems are that can cause dead voices and dead ranges of keys. We track down the problems on this keyboard with the oscilloscope and bring it back to working order.
I begin the restoration of a very rare (one of ~35 made) ARP 2600 Grey Meanie. I bought this ARP totally dead and intend to do a full restoration of it before I sell it.
Its previous owner thought the power supply was broken, so we check it out and locate the real problem. But, as should be done with every vintage synth, we rebuild the power supply.
If you’d like me to make more videos as I repair and restore this ARP 2600, please let me know!
I give a quick demo of the functionality of the Yamaha SK-10 analog synthesizer, and perform a light service on it–cleaning switches and sliders and recapping the power supply. This keyboard is currently for sale on my site.
