This OB-8 was brought to me because it wasn’t outputting any audio. In this video we troubleshoot the problem and then bring the Oberheim back to life with a few cool upgrades like a new Fatar keybed and my Synthchaser Battery Eliminator modules!
New product alert! Synthchaser Battery Eliminator for Prophet 5 Rev 3.0. User installable, no soldering required. Lose the battery and the failure prone 6508 chips for less than the cost of 1 battery change by a tech. Available at Synthchaser.com![]()

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...![]()
