Prophet 5 blues

[Wayne Thompson]

A little off topic but......

After finding a MINT!!! Prophet 5 I thought I had the world by the balls
but.........
On the second day of twiddling knobs it decides to shut down.  All the
program lights went off and the sound that was playing continued until
the end of the env's and then nothing.  This is a rev 2 (I checked under
the hood according to the tech manual I recieved with it and sure enough
it says Rev.2 on the pcb boards)
Here are my questions:

Any ideas why it did what it did?  The last sound I was playing with I
was using osc in lo freq mode and playing in unison.

I talked to wine country and they said "we don't work on rev 2's"
Any reason why???? ssm chip availability???

Anybody have a dead prophet 5 rev 2 they want to sell or trade.
I loved the sounds I was getting and would like to see this thing last
alittle while.

If I get it running would the midi kit be a good idea or am I always
going to have problems???

Thanx for any help.
