ARP Omni 2 Repair Video – Shorted Tantalum Capacitors & Bad Top Octave Generator

Getting the tantalum capacitors out of your ARP synths should be considered mandatory maintenance, and can save you from expensive, out-of-production chips getting damaged, like the top octave generator in this video.
