Subject: [Simmons Drums] SDS1000 conversion help


> Hi,
>
> I have read a text file about converting an SDS1000 to an SDS1000M. I
> did not understand some parts of the text, can anyone help me? can
> anyone show me some pictures of the SDS1000 circuit board to show me
> how certain things are positioned? I am very curious about what it
> looks like inside because I tried to take mine apart. I cannot take it
> apart due to a split screw and I am looking forward to attempting to
> carefully destroy the screw without damaging the important stuff.

> I do have a bunch of resistors and a few capacitors in my disposal. I
