Vintage Synth Repair

The other point here is to replace the NiCad with NiMH, and I too have
mounted a replacement elsewhere in the cabinet and then hard wired to the
PCB

All that damage if not a 'beyond economical repair' just not to come out
with 2 wires from the mother board and put the NiCd battery to the side
somewhere in a small safe container.
I usually do this when I see the battery mounted on mother board of any
synth/keyboard when it a re-chargeable one. Used to put it safe in a 'Kinder
Sorpresa' plastic container.. the ones you buy from a candy store!
 
I wish I could have helped but sorry do not have service manual for this.
 
Its worth a try.. good luck

Anyone have any service information on this controller? The NiCd leaked real
bad on the motherboard. I think there are probably several runs destroyed
but it's hard to trace since they are all short runs to vias. I'm assuming
I'll have to lift all the affected pins and wire them up off-PCB. I've never
seen a NiCd cause so much damage. It's destroyed runs on both the front and
back.

Schematics, diagnostics, PCB artwork ... anything?
