Re: needing help diagnosing faulty right panel

2013-05-29 by gopalsulleniii

Paul,

Thanks so much for your support.  The new panel solved the issue.  I tested it at the tech's shop and it seemed to get the upper function button working.  Just installed it at home tonight and it is working like a champ!

Do you want the faulty panel back?

It has taken me 18 months to get this synth working. It is like new.  The tech looked it over real well.  I have all original packaging, manuals, foot pedal, cassette tape, etc.  Looking forward to getting to use it.

Thanks again!

Opal
