[sdiy] Star Synare schematics

[Grant Richter]

I have the schematics for the Star S3X which is the one with the presets (if
you can call a disco space drum a preset!)

By VERY odd coincidence, a Star Synare 2 (the big one with the built in
sequencer) showed up on my doorstep with only one working oscillator
waveform (saw and PWM are dead).

Weird. I have never even seen one before.

Does anyone have any user or service data for the Synare 2 ???

Will trade schematics etc.

Thanks for any help.
