Re: [oberheim] Hello to everyone and OB-Xa repair questions

2014-06-27 by Daniel Forró

Stephan, I don't have this instrument, and don't know it well from  
technical point of view, and don't have enough time for study of  
service documentation for you. You or your technician can do it  
directly. I speak just generally, as a collector and hobby serviceman  
who does maintenance and repairs of his numerous instruments. Besides  
the check I recommended to you, I usually change electrolytic  
(sometimes also tantalum) caps, especially in power supply circuit,  
sometimes I replace old displays with EL backlight for modern with LED  
backlight.

I can send you service manuals, please don't expect from me concrete  
advice what to do with this instrument. Maybe some owner or specialist  
who knows it will answer your questions. I fight now with my Matrix 6r  
repair...
