Vintage Synth Repair

You will have to remove the button panel and replace the tac(tactile)switch under the button.  It does require de-soldering and soldering the replacement switch.  You could farm that part out if you do not have the equipment or experience.


If the buttons are glued to the circuit board, you can remove the bad switch and if you taper the leads with a cutter, it will be easier to slip the new switch in under the button cap.

I have had this unit open before and was successful in making some mechanical repairs on some keys. I don't want to make this worse. On a scale of 1-10 what would it take to troubleshoot and repair?
