Vintage Synth Repair

Just wanted say hi and thanks to the moderators for letting me join this group. I have been involved in electronic music since I was a "wee lad" which was a long, long time ago. I am (was, I'm semi retired due to spinal injury) an electronics tech/engineer by profession and have
been repairing and building electronic music instruments for most of my life.

I have amassed a huge collection of documents (manuals, tech info) over the years pertaining to synths etc and I guess one day when I drop dead, it will drop dead with me..lol

I hope through my involvement with the members of this group I can share this knowledge of mine and keep many bits of gear in the working condition they deserve to be in. As this area of electronics has always been a "hobby" as aside to my profession, generally I have never sought to profit from the work I have done for people. (to my wife's disgust)

Personally I have a deep interest in drum synths and have designed and built quite a few "clones".

Anyway, I hope that I can help you guys as I hate the idea that classic analog gear at times hits the dumpster!!

Ciao

Richard
