Vintage Synth Repair

Hi Dan,

  Broken synths really suck don't they? I have my Odyssey opened up 
right now to
replace a couple sliders that wouldn't clean up and work properly. They're so
full of gunk it's a wonder they worked at all. It'll probably break your
budget, but you might try this guy:
