Vintage Simmons Drums (UK) Users Group

Just keep in mind that many owners of electronic equipment are scared to 
death about opening their gear. Like there are curses and vicious 
spirits inside. :D I've met that view dozens of times...

A few years ago I bought three "totally broken" units as scrap from a 
guy who has beaten hexagons since day one but probably never opened a 
unit. I re-soldered one wire connection, re-wired a PSU contact and had 
a friend to burn a new e-prom and all three was alive and 100% 
functioning again.
