Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

Richard, many thanks on your advice. I did in fact power on and off 
perhaps 4 times but didn't leave it on for more than a few seconds. 
Hopefully no damage there. It didn't blow while it was running it 
just came up like this the other day. I assume the diodes you are 
referring to are the big ones right next to the fuses? Are they just 
rectifier diodes? If the fuse is 2A and is hung off the diode I would 
assume you are talking about replacing them with 4 amps or greater?

I will look into that.

Thanks

Dan

diode on the PS board, the reason we are seeing this so much now is 
that Ensoniq chose diodes that were rated to the number and not over 
rated. The over rated diodes would last MUCH longer than one chose to 
spec, any good tech handling this repair will slightly over spec the 
diodes and change them all at the same time, simple repair.
