Hi

I just joined the group.

A friend just gave me an sds9 brain which has a few problems. I`m a
trained tech but mainly deal with analogue gear,& don`t do digital
too much. I am hoping with a few pointers from you folk to fix it to
go with my TMI.

Problems so far:

1. Some of the switches have been robbed to repair another unit.
Does anyone know which switches are a replacement available from a UK
supplier preferably.
2. A UK supplier of replacement pots please.
3. The Snare works, the toms are silent, & I get a low buzz out of
the kick drum. The buzz comes out of kick individual out & the mix
out but no other sockets. On opening up the unit I find that 2 chips
have been pulled out. There are DILs maybe 20 pin on the far right
hand side of the board. I took the numbers down but stupidly left
them at my workshop.

Any help would be useful & if someone has the diagram that would be
really useful

Thanks in advance Rob
