RE: [analogue-sequencer] Fire in my home (my P3 can possibly be saved)

2008-12-16 by Colin Fraser

That's bad news...
Must have been quite a fire to stop you going back for the vintage synths !

Without seeing the P3 in question, I cant really say how likely it is to
survive.
It depends on the type and amount of contamination that has reached the
circuit boards.
How bad does the outside look ?
There are no production chassis left any longer, but it may be possible to
do a Schaeffer panel and DIY rear enclosure.

Best regards,
