Vintage Simmons Drums (UK) Users Group

Hi!

I used to own one and to be honest it was the worst Simmons unit I've ever 
owned. But yes, I _think_ it uses a battery for backup so start there. A 
general overhaul of contacts seems like a good idea. If you can't get it 
working they're seldom too expensive on Ebay though this may be a poor 
consolation considering that many people have prejudices towards sending to 
eastern Europe...

Lider-2 for some jamming! ;)
