Okay, pet peeve time.
I have owned an origial model Yamaha DX-7 for about 15 years now and
one thing that has always bugged me about it is that it does not seem
to be properly grounded.
It only has a 2 prong power cable and when I run my hand over the
metal case I can feel what I can only describe as low voltage 60Hz AC
on my finger tips. Now I have never actually gotten shocked by it,
but it still bothers me.
Have any other DX7 owners replaced the power cord with a 3 prong one?
Do I just tie the green wire to the case? I think I will put in an
IEC jack as well, just to make transporting it easier.
