Vintage Simmons Drums (UK) Users Group

Hi Berk / All


Thanks for the interest. 
The midi leads I am using are fine, this is not the problem.

I used to use the Cheetah as a Pad input to MIDI interface (using 
Simmons pads). Also, have a Kenton-Midi'ed SDS7 but it is midi-out 
only so you can appreciate the usefulness of the Cheetah! However, my 
gear has been in storage for years and during this time the internal 
battery has leaked across the main PCB in the Cheetah. I have 
replaced the battery and repaired some of the obviously broken pcb 
track. Also, checked many pcb connections and all seem ok now. 
However, some acid has leaked on the components. I was wondering if 
anyone else out there had also gone through this trouble and worked 
out which components most likely need changing before I attempt to 
start changing some likely suspects.
Regards
Andy
