OBERHEIM SYNTH

Hi, Bob!
YES!  Absolutely interested in the M-6, -6R display replacement project!  I have one of both, and would welcome a source to save our lovely toys should the VFD displays go poof!
THANK YOU so much for tackling this!

Hi,

    Anyone still interested in the Matrix 6 display replacement project?
Just trying to see how much interest there is.  I have some time now.
Thanks.

    Bob

AFAIK M6 and M6R are basically the same...
