I troubleshoot and repair a couple of problems with this ARP Omni 2. First the lower bass voice is dead. Second, a weird problem with the low note priority circuitry of the bass notes is seemingly allowing more than 1 bass note through at a time.
On the workbench today is this EMS VCS3. A legendary piece of electronic music history getting some much needed attention. From Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon to Jean Michele Jarre's Oxygene, the VCS3 helped shape early electron#emsvcs3.#EMSS#vintagesynthesizery#synthrepairy#analogsynthnalogSynth

New video! In this video, I'll show you how to install the Synthchaser Battery Eliminator for Juno 106, which replaces the original battery-dependent memory chip with nonvolatile memory so your presets are retained without a battery. The module comes preloaded with both banks of factory presets, supports saving your own custom patches, and eliminates the hassle of replacing the battery and losing your presets when the battery dies.If you're not comfortable doing this yourself, I offer mail in service to install this on you#roland.#juno106d#VintageSynthn#synthrepairy#analogsynthnalogsynth

Still on the topic of the LinnDrum... The main, screw-in filter capacitor was under-rated (10V rating, 12V operation). But this capacitor is often overlooked (or crudely hacked) when people recap a LinnDrum. When looking to replace this, I could not find a suitably specced replacement capacitor that would drop into the existing footprint. Because I work on a lot of these I've created this replacement capacitor module that screws in just like the original capacitor. Capacitance, voltage rating and temperature rating have all been increased so the capacitor will be properly specced, with ample headroom to provide longevity. I'm making them available to everyone on my#linndrum#VintageSynthn#drummachiner#synthrepairy#drummachinerepairhineRepair
