OBERHEIM SYNTH

Hi, Flavio,

this can be valid argument, because it's quite possible the quality of  
older products was better than the recent Chinese cheap imitations :-)  
But I haven't any detailed and deeper information concerning this -  
the answer can be found after another few years of using it...

 From this point of view it can be good idea to use battery holder -  
the next battery exchange will be easy.

If I understand well the backup battery is loaded a little bit (if  
it's technically possible) when the instrument is switched on, and RAM  
chips don't need much current to keep their contents - probably that's  
the main reason why battery can last so long time.
