Re: BE AWARE : so called "SERVICE MANUALS" TOTALLY useless !!!!!

2007-08-27 by Richard

Hey Xavier no harm done...just be careful what you buy because there 
has NEVER been any MR schematics released from Ensoniq or EMU, you 
could end up purchasing some hack job schems or ???

The guy in CA "the soniq" at www.thesoniq.com is a good guy to work 
with, he will not sell any schematics or answer any repair questions 
but he will repair your unit if you ship it to him. 
He charges a $70 flat rate + whatever parts are needed.

Richard at Route 66
