so cool, excellent video on such a rare gem of a synth, its so rare to see the guts of this machine and many others you've worked on! who was the artist this synth came from? Your troubleshooting process and thoughtful solutions are incredibly helpful to see, keep the information coming and thank you SO much.
great video, if you ever get the 3d printed part installed, it would be great to see and maybe sell them as a kit as my OSCar suffers from the same issue
The main control panel of the OSCar was actually made from large PVC window shelves! I believe they all had that mid-range hum from the factory. Mine has it and every other OSCar I've come across. Is it an easy fix?
Just a question, I'd love to see more about the actual restoration and how you do it, a whole series, if you will, about the details. Could you do that? And more different older synthesizers as well: Roland and Yamaha etc. Thanks for anything you put on video, I enjoy it. Thanks for the sliders, chips and upgrade on my filter for my Arp Odyssey 2813. They work great.
Hey, nice to see another video of yours :) concerning the ground(?) hum, how did you manage to fix it? It is actually the last of a series of things i still need to fix on an old Korg Poly 61 and it would be awesome to have a good starting point to get motivated. all the best
With the way musicians throw their instruments around, I would be concerned that the batteries might fall out of the holder. Maybe a classic synth like this can expect better treatment, but I wouldn't count on it.
Thanks! I didn't forget... I just respect people's privacy and I'm also not big on name dropping. A number of the synths in my videos either belong to or were sold to people you may have heard of.
oh man, I have lost 2 of my button caps any chance I could buy a couple of your 3d printed ones? Great idea about changing that edge connector I should do that also.
