It certainly deserves getting fixed. And if you decide it's not worth it
I bet there are a few in here ready to take on the challenge. Check with
James at Synth Repair to at least get a quote. He's a good guy with good
reputation.

If it gets too expensive, you might sell it off in parts. Heretic - yes,
but just don't throw it out!

But there might even be help had here... Let's wait and see. Znd once
again, welcome! :)
