Vintage Synth Repair

Hi,

I'm on the hunt for the following bits for a Roland S-10:

1: 2 x end plates/covers for the main unit - The plastic covers that
screw onto each end (side) of the S-10.

2: 1 x LCD display (or just the backlight, since mine's dead!)

Any help or comments appreciated!

Cheers,

Mike.

Greetings,

Just thought I'd check here before purchasing one from one of the  
usual sources.

My omni exhibits the usual tantalum cap failure, but there's a fried  
cap & resistor in the phaser section too.


peace,

john

Well - late response, but just for reference to come.. 

I got mine from Mark Glinsky in xerox - and I didn't regret cashing 
out when I saw the bundle of paper. It is a much lengthier read than 
the Omni I service manual. 

And - if you haven't got it up and running allready - Best of luck.

Thanks I may need to shell out for it.

I replaced the 22uf caps on the voice boards and the violin/viola  
section is working fine.
The chorus needed new caps as well.

On some notes he cello, bass parts exhibit an odd  and intermittent  
"blip on release" - almost a double trigger.
And I've noticed that the staccato button doesn't really do anything
so it may be that the 1uf caps must be replaced as well.

Mr Glnksy it is...

peace,
