Vintage Simmons Drums (UK) Users Group

Hi Group,

I just received an SDS6 for my collection (plus another SDS7) I've repaired a few in the past but that was many moons ago. The unit I brought is refusing to power up so I dug through my boxes of service manuals looking for the old SDS6 one I had and found it was well and truly water damaged. Can someone here point me in the direction of a copy of the schematics. I'm happy if you can supply me with a URL for a manual dealer as long as I can get a new copy thats readable I'm happy to pay.

Cheers

Thanks for the off list support guys, much appreciated =)

Sometimes a bargain come calling and this was one of them. Via the bay
from a seller
who only new it made a noise. It was an SDS6 with an SDS 7 all mounted
up in a hard
case. SDS6 mounted on an angle in the top with SDS7 below it. The SDS7 
has 6 modules
and is in good condition and fully functional. The SDS6 has a few PSU
issues and wont
fire up but that will be an easy fix. It is in great mechanical
condition, only a little dusty.

All for the price of 340 euro..!!

So if you keep an eye out good do still happen..=)
I was sure the price would rocket in the last few minutes but I guess
due to easter break a lot
of buyers may not have been aware of it.

Just a little update on the SDS6. Fixed the PSU and it lives again!!

As I mentioned got it really cheap, I nearly fell on the floor when it arrived...it's one of the very few last factory units built...it has the factory midi mod !!! I'm a really happy chappy to say the least. I'll look at reverse engineering the Midi hardware and take a copy of the OS roms. Then if any one would like to mod there own it should be quite possible.
