Subject: OT: OB-8 refurbishing

From: Larry David <larrydavid@...>
Date: 2005-11-06

Hi all,

Like some of you perhaps, i've been meaning to order some CEM chips
from Paul to have as spares for my OB-8. From what I've read, the CMOS
chips and some of the caps age more quickly and are more likely to fail
than the CEM chips though. I also remember something about the power
supply not being the greatest. My OB works fine now, and I'd like to
keep it alive as long as possible. It seems to me that shouldn't be
too hard, especially with some spare CEMs on hand. Anyone know of a
website or other source of info on maintaining and/or upgrading an
OB-8? Mine has factory MIDI and the latest software revision (I think)
so I'm mostly looking for hardware info. JH? Anyone?

Thanks,
Larry David
