I bought several broken ARP Odysseys, and as is common with the Black & Gold ARPs, a number of them had heavy wear to the gold lettering on the panel. After meticulously restoring the electronics of this one, I decided to risk it all to see if I could successfully re-silkscreen the panel graphics myself. The result wasn’t impressive. Though it made usable again a synth that was otherwise unusable since you didn’t know what slider did what.

New video! I troubleshoot and repair a dead Roland TR-808, and convert it from 220V operation to 110V operation.
Who can figure out what synth I'm working on to#vintagesynths#synthrepaire#analogsynthsynth
Just replaced the lousy Panasonic keybed in this Oberheim OB-8 with a new Fatar keybed using a handy little adapter that I make. It also works for the OB-Xa and OB-X...![]()
