| Synthosphere's SX-240 - Upon Arrival | 01 Outside, Overall |
|
Not too bad... I think I had already done a quick surface clean at that point though |
| Synthosphere's SX-240 - Upon Arrival | 02 Outside, Left Cheek |
|
Kinda bashed... but it's ok, I want to put real nice wood anyways. |
| Synthosphere's SX-240 - Upon Arrival | 03 Outside, Right Cheek |
|
Bashed as well. But those are easy to change! |
| Synthosphere's SX-240 - Upon Arrival | 04 Outside, Top Left |
|
The big rotary button is not missing, it's just soaking in warm soapy water to clean it. Now it's like new! |
| Synthosphere's SX-240 - Upon Arrival | 05 Outside, Back Left |
|
Had already cleaned outside a bit, but maybe you can see how dirty it is inside... Will need a good inside cleanup and Deoxit! |
| Synthosphere's SX-240 - Upon Arrival | 06 Outside, Back Right |
|
Same here... |
| Synthosphere's SX-240 - Upon Arrival | 07 Outside, Dirty Keys |
|
Yikes! That dirt just won't go away when washed with warm mild soapy water or even Windex... looks like someone tried to clean them with acetone and dissolved the surface. Grrr... Will need to do a complete polish or change them all (got quite a few Poly-61's laing around... same keys!) |
| Synthosphere's SX-240 - Upon Arrival | 08 Outside, Inside, CPU Board |
|
Ouch! Very dirty. But yay! Battery seems to not have leaked! |
| Synthosphere's SX-240 - Upon Arrival | 09 Inside, Voice Board |

Icchhhh! Those SSM-2044 need to be treated with more respect dudes! They are the heart and soul of this beast... |
| Synthosphere's SX-240 - Upon Arrival | 10 Inside, Power Supply area |
|
Can't even see if the fuse is burst or not... (!) |
| Synthosphere's SX-240 - Upon Arrival | 11 Inside, Battery area |
|
No leaks! Yay!!! But extremely filthy! |
| Synthosphere's SX-240 - Upon Arrival | 12 Inside, Near SSM2044 & under keyboard |
|
Yikes, that can't be good for those lovely SSM's... Notice the big dustball between the SSM's of voices 1 and 2 ? |
| Synthosphere's SX-240 - Upon Arrival | 13 Inside, Under the keyboard |
|
A new type of semiconductors was just discovered: the furry type! (Jeeeze) |
| Synthosphere's SX-240 - Upon Arrival | 14 Inside, Battery Left Side |
|
No leak. Dusty CMOS. |
| Synthosphere's SX-240 - Upon Arrival | 15 Inside, Battery Right Side |
|
No leak on the other side either. Quite relieved! Bad leaks can be quite a burden to fix. |
| Synthosphere's SX-240 - Upon Arrival | 16 Inside, Under the removed Keyboard |

This is supposed to be black... |
| Synthosphere's SX-240 - Upon Arrival | 17 Inside, Keyboard Removed - OUCH |

Lord knows what those spots are made of... (You can see parts of where I started cleaning, top right) |
| Synthosphere's SX-240 - Upon Arrival | 18 Inside, Keyboard Removed - YUCK |
|
No further comments...(You can see parts of where I started cleaning, bottom right) |

Guess which is which!!! Hey, are these made by the same company that makes printers? (OKI) |

We can now clearly see there's not PCB damage around the battery. |
