Hey Guys
I still make the E coolers for the VFX/VFXSD/SD1 32, I have them being used on hundreds of units around the world, I have had one on my own SD1 32 since I got it...nothing else even comes close.
I will have a new shipment of about 100pcs around December, just keep checking the site at www.Route66studios.com

Subject: [Ensoniq-VFX-SD] vfx heating

my vfx-sd came to me with a dead regulator. replacing it brought the synth back, but it still ran hot. I pulled the 4 regulators away from the heatsink enough to replace the old insulators with new Therma-film ones. Then, I got a little aluminum TO-220 heatsink and put it in front of the +12 regualtor ( the five-legged one) so the regulators metal tab is sandwiched between the new heatsink and the old external one. (using hearsink grease)

www.route66studios.com had the external fan kits, but they were out the last time i checked.
