Re: Turning a vintage synth on after 30 years

Glad you like my music Quazimodo!

Picking up on the tantalum caps comment. Yes, in my RS202, the dead notes were caused by dead tantalum caps. The electrolytics seemed OK.

I guess every synth has its weak spots. The Univox had some old plastic bodied caps - they weren't the usual suspect electolytic or tantalum - maybe polyester? Every one of them was completely dead.
