Replacing the battery, improving the MIDI daughter board connection and more.
I'm repairing this OSCar by myself, because there are no people with OSCar repair experience anywhere near where I live, and I didn't feel comfortable shipping it, considering how badly beat up the packages I get shipped here often are.
I can admit now, that this was a mistake. Ah well, a lesson learned.
Here's a link to the Synthchaser video I mentioned: • Oxford Synthesizer Com...
Check his channel out if you like synthesizer repairs!
The Oxford Synthesizer Company OSCar is a nearly mythical monosynth used by Ultravox, Jean-Michel Jarre and many more, perhaps most famously it provided the synth bass line in "Do They Know It's Christmas?"
OSC manufactured less than a thousand of these, making them as rare as they are weird. This rarity, together with the unusual design, questionable build quality and the company's brief life means it is sometimes called "The DeLorean of Synths".
Repairing this one has taught me a lot about the OSCar, if you have one in need of repairs, do not hesitate to contact me for advice and help. It is NOT easy to repair, you need an expert.
