Repairs and Restorations

Continuing the discussion from Relay questions:

Oldish RadioShack mixer my buddy gave me. It’s in pretty rough shape, broken switches, crusted faders, beat up paint, jacks just fall out of the sockets, etc.

It works though. And I like the case/layout

Sanded down and primed taking measurements for new pcbs for jack and switch board. (Old one had RCA and really worn out 1/4”)

Looking at doing some mods/upgrades now before build and paint

I managed to repair the Korg Polysix I mentioned here. I brought in tune and added a MIDI interface.

Cool Well Done!

All the bargain synths seem to be drying up, prices have trippled in the last 2 years on many.

I guess it’s a good thing we like diy, but then again with chip shortages…

Your next video should be to fix the Sequential Split-Eight. I need to figure out what is wrong with mine :wink:

My Ensoniq ESQ-1 had a broken plug stuck in one of the sockets and, after taking it apart, I was struck by the beautiful vintage board. Also, nice chips!

It reminds me of native American bead work.
