Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

well I hope so! 
btw I'm not skilled at all when it comes to electronic stuff, so I really can't do that modification myself...
so maybe an ecooler would fix that?! 
I don't do gigs, but sure I don't like the fact that it gets too hot and it's not that reliable in its actual state...

is the ecooler also available for european 220v voltage?!

p.s. should I check the fuse(s) anyway?!
