Re: [yamahacs80] Re: Replacing all CMOS 4000 Series Logic IC's

2009-01-20 by David Rogoff

Mike,

I agree with Kent.  As I told you, when I re-chiped my CS80 I had a few 
problems that were all tiny solder bridges between pads.  I'd spend a 
bunch of time with a lighted magnifier to start.  Do you know which 
board it is?  I had strongly suggested to you that you only re-chip one 
board at a time to help isolate any possible re-work goofs.

Good luck,

 David
