Re: [vintagesynthrepair] Roland RD-300S trouble

I don't know this unit, but I think they are probably
just common signal diodes like 1n4148 or 1n914.
If it's not the wiring/solder/diodes, it could be the
chip that is either driving the keyboard scan lines
or the chip that is reading them.  You'll have to 
follow the traces to find the offender...
