Akai S1000 / S1100 samplers

welcome to the group.. seems these old beasts are becoming popular 
again... they're just too robust to be left alone.

Not sure on the switch part but I would try to 
get a hold of the schematics/repair manuals first.
I'm sure I've seen these either here (Files) or 
on someone's website.  I can search a bit if you're desparate.

We're having a S1100/S1000 track-off by december, hope you can enter.
