[sdiy] Roland has "pulled the plug" Roland RS 505

[Jeff Farr]

If I may be allowed to rant a bit here.. WTF is the matter with Roland? A
dealer can't even sell their old schematics for their stuff from the 70's.
Are they ashamed of their old products or what?! I've been considering
compiling a letter from the community at large about this. It's a real slap
in the face to anyone who owns an old Roland, essentially saying "You
haven't paid us anything lately, why should we care about you?". Lately most
of their products have been chaff too, there hasn't been a Roland product
thats caught my imagination anytime in nearly a decade now....
