Southern California Synth Repair Tech
2008-11-25 by George
Sure thing: His name is Dave Shuman and is located in downtown San Diego, CA. By trade, he's an Intellectual Property Attourney with a biochemistry background, but loves to fix synths and other music gear on the side for fun. (LOL) He's a suuuuupernice guy. He had never seen an Emulator before until I brought him mine. When we opened the unit up, he seemed instantly familiarized with the components and their circuits. I dropped of the unit on Sunday at around 7pm and left shortly after. At around 10.30pm I had received an email that the thing was fixed and put back together. As I mentioned, he even reflowed ALL solder joints on the PSU and other critical components. That's what I call a quick turnaround. He's got a little repair shop going on in his apartment. Don't hesitate to call him if you're in the Southern California area. I will bring him all my other old synths from now one if anything goes south. Anyways, here is his email address: davidshuman@... Cheers George P.S. Elm, Yes, I am German/Portuguese, grew up there, but live in the USA since 1999.
