Roland System 100m

Yikes.

Does anyone know if there are any one can buy already manufactured that are wired 
correctly?

Also -- I was testing the 100M out today, using the existing cables (there are only 2! 3 
missing, although he says he probably has them "somewhere") to power up the modules.  
Is the 100M pretty safe as far as pulling and plugging these power cables while the 100m 
is running?  I.e., you can plug/unplug at these cables at will w/o damaging the synth?  
(They seem to be notched so that you can't plug them in wrong).  Don't want to fuck up 
the synth.

On another note -- how reparable is the 100M?  I have a former Roland tech in the 
neighborhood, so he should be qualified to work on them (he worked at Roland Japan, 
early 80's).  But are parts available if something goes wrong?  

I know that, for instance, the SCI Pro One has a main chip that if it goes bad, well, that's 
the synth.  No more parts available, ever.
