Vintage Simmons Drums (UK) Users Group

also, these are old enough ( and the caps they used were cheap enough ) that they are completely out of spec.

early digital hates this enough to completely break down when it is the case.

a recap and new battery may be all of the issue.

It certainly deserves getting fixed. And if you decide it's not worth it 
I bet there are a few in here ready to take on the challenge. Check with 
James at Synth Repair to at least get a quote. He's a good guy with good 
reputation.

If it gets too expensive, you might sell it off in parts. Heretic - yes, 
but just don't throw it out!

But there might even be help had here... Let's wait and see. Znd once 
again, welcome! :)
