SX 210 ALIVE!

SX 210 ALIVE!

2008-07-22 by xorsister

Hi all SX210 players!
Now, i am a proud owner of this amazing synth too!
Mine one have several problems, but i think everything will be OK.
Strange, but outputs are broken, but i just need to replace the
connectors.. Anyone know tape output-input is a mono-jacks?
Battery still alive too, but i think i need to replace it with Lithium
one anyway.. 
Please, if anyone have experience in changing battery procedure in
SX210, let me know - is this possible to do without service manual?
Thank You!
Alien.

Can i use Old Crow's instructions or it's not the same?

You can, but then you have to find a slide-in holder for it so you have something to solder to. I used a Tadrian 3.6v AA size lithium and a single AA holder

HI!
Thanks for answers!
I cannot find single AA holder, but i found double..
What do you think about using two Lithium 3.6v batteries instead of one?
Thanks!

Nope...can t do that. The 2-AA battery holder puts the batteries in series, so if you used 2 3.6v liths you d have 7.2v on the memory cmos ram. Bad mojo. If

Thanks, i've already realize that!
I'm just solder a wire into second AA slot and now everything works!
But on one voice - VCA EG don't respond when i change Attack or Decay:(
(btw: the Sustain and Release works...)

How can i check VCA and VCF EG's??
Thanks for help!
