more schematics questions - sds8

Re: [Simmons Drums] more schematics questions - sds8

2016-10-15 by jesper

From what I've heard they're OK to deal with, but that some copies are
of lesser quality. Irritating when you pay good money for them.

If I were you I'd ask the list. Someone here might own a copy... (Not me
though, I serviced mine without).

There is a SDS-800 service manual out there though... if that could
help. I bet there are quite a few similarities.

I can probably find or make you a copy. Where are you located?
