Vintage Synth Repair

Chipsforbrains/technology transplant, which may or may not have gone out of
business remanufactured that front membrane.  Try sam at syntaur.com in case
he still has old stock of it from them.  He used to buy wholesale off them.


Feedback on shipping from technologytransplant.com has been uncertain in the
last six months, they may or may not ship. Its listed at the old real
bargain price of 89.90

http://www.technologytransplant.com/index.php?cPath=30_62_54  I asked them
directly what was up and got no answer.  Feel like a gambler?  

 

Years ago I had zero feedback from them and received eventually 2 kits for
an 808 & a 909 rebuild.  I notice they have disappeared off ebay.

Subject: [vintagesynthrepair] Moog Source membrane switches

 

  

Hi everybody,

I'm trying to repair a Moog Source that has a few problems. So far I was
able to fix the problems by reinstalling a new 5 volts regulator and doing a
cleanup of the internal connectors. 

But the problem I'm having is that there is a few membrane switch that does
not work.
The defective switches are located at the right of the synthsizer: OSC1, all
of the switches of the Voltage Controlled Filter, all the S and R switches
of the ADSR.
So far I've tried to swap the chips in the matrix circuit but that did not
help. 
I guess the membrane itself is defective.

Is there any way to repair the membrane if only a group of switches are
defective?
Thank you!

Nicolas
