Yes, there is a "little" soldering involved. First you take the 
digital motherboard out, and solder some mod wires there. Next obtain 
and install a wavesuper and test it boots up. Then you take all the 2 
Mbyte RAM cards out, and extensively modify these, with each one 
taking about an hour. You then take all 8 channel cards out and 
modify these, removing one chip and replacing with another. Then you 
install the new ROMs and test channels and memory for a couple of 
hours. Reject or repair any bad cards. Next the sampler needs to be 
modified, which takes a few hours to perform and then test. Next, 
remove all the old drives, and throw into a canal. Time taken here 
depends on how close your nearest canal is. Install a new 4 Gbyte 
drive, and copy across a full of libraries, and the system software. 
Then make a nice aluminium cover plate, spray it black and install. 
Meanwhile, get a full set of manuals copied, while you do final audio 
testing...

Simple really.....

It takes me a couple of days. The list price of this is GBP 2,750, 
but I'm doing a special offer until Christmas of GBP 1,750
