Sequential circuits samplers

Hi Marko,

I am in a similar predicament to you; I left my P2002 out 
and plugged in, and my 20-month old daughter came to visit 
me in the office/studio; after a while I thought "what's 
that click-click-click-click noise?" and looked down to see 
Sasha toggling the power switch. And now the P2002 either 
won't power on, or if it does it just says "1+".

So, my own silly fault obviously, but from peering in at the 
PSU it looks pretty standard, so it should be 
straightforward to troubleshoot and repair. I have the 
service manual, 'scope and decent multimeter but 
unfortunately I don't have any time ATM to get to the synth.

Anyway, my point is, you'd be much better off repairing the 
PSU yourself (or finding someone who can) than trying to 
source a replacement. Usually it's just a case of replacing 
whichever bits have blown up. And hoping that the digital 
electronics haven't been damaged.

Cheers,

John :^P
