Could you please describe (both for me and for all the people in the future who will be reading this sequence of postings) exactly what kind of damage that an old memory battery does to vintage synthesizers?  Thank you.

To add to what Scott said about replacing
your battery, always do a back-up of your favorite sounds. If your battery
dies, they may be lost as well. If you can’t find a tech near you, go to www.mitatechs.org and search for a tech
near you.

One of the biggest
problems I've come across in servicing/repairing

vintage gear is : Memory Battery leakage.



If your Memory Battery hasnt been changed in a number of year PLEASE get it
done or it may ruin you synth for good



You can send it to me for $100's of dollars of repairs OR change the battery
