[sdiy] Re: Pratt&Reed keyboard pix

[Stephen Lenham]

I second this. When you're repairing, unmodifying or even just thinking 
about buying a particular model, it's reassuring to be able to check out 
decent pictures of a "standard" unit. 

It's been mentioned before, but another good thing to do (if you have the 
facility, and if the synth has one) is to take a dump of the EPROM contents. 

I just took loads of pics of my Teisco SX-400 (restoration just finished) 
which should be appearing on Sander Meyer's Teisco site 
(http://home.worldonline.nl/~smeyer/teisco) sometime soon. 

Cheers,
