Re: [oberheim] Re: Oberheim Perf/X fried with AC adapter

Nat, 

I just sent you an email. I can usually find parts for the 80's gear. I also have a lot of parts here for these vintage units. It's amazing what is available using Ebay and a few other sites. 

If reverse voltage made it to the eprom, RAM, or CPU it very well could have fried them. It depends on if the voltage regulator shorted or failed open. Together hopefully we can figure it out....

>Fran, I indeed have the extra memory chips installed. I'm unfortunately in Germany so not as practical to send them back and forth. Id like to try to fix them with your direction if possible. Do you think an IC got fried or is the problem just in simple components? If possible is like to bring back to life all three of these so I'm hoping I can find parts particularly IC's.. -nat
