Vintage Synth Repair

Sometimes I get too subtle.  My reading of them is this: you have to decide
whether you want to risk throwing the money away and buy one at their site
and wait for it to a) arrive, or b) never arrive.

My experience is they will never (either way) answer your email of inquiry.
They have always been like that in good or bad times.  If b just send 1-2
complaining emails (after 6 weeks) and then give up.  

I know this is not the ANorth American model but it is what happens.  But
ask sam first.  He will do exactly what he says promptly.  Or he may be able
to get it in one last shipment if they are closing down.

Hi,

Thanks for the information. I sent them a message and wait for a response.

I was wandering if I could remove the front cover and try to repair the
defective trace circuit of the membrane.
Anybody ever tried that?

Thanks!

Nicolas
