my sds7 has been in attic for 5 years , i have had the kit new 1 owner from 1984 , just bought the kit back down to set up  / incorporate with my yamaha dtxtreme 2s kit 


the sds7 battery is porked and all kits gone , tho i did numerically key back in my fave custom kit , the brain works , sounds ok , and it seems to hold the prog so far !


to cut a long story short i need following 


1  to pay someone to fix the battery issue as per this article perhaps http://www.electronic-obsession.se/studio/simmons/sds7_battery_replacement.html

2 my increment wheel on sds7 front needs a service , seems a little loose and stiff but works ?


i can't do these jobs myself , as don;t want to pork the sds7 brain 



my kit was mended in past by Dave Simmons in person after factory closed , he was doing repairs in sun lane Hitchin then, i met him , and i have played on huge 12 piece sds7 with angel choir eprom sds1 pad in factory demo room back in 80s in st albans factory 

 i now live 3 miles approx from factory of old in st albans , which is now Wayside vw car dealership on the site )

so need help fellow simmons dudes please , await your responses 

thanks 

Roger
