Oberheim DSX

2016-01-25 by motionboy@...

Dear Oberheim Group Members,

I own an Oberheim DSX without working OS Eproms. The machine even has a Midi Interface.

Could anyone burn me the needed DSX OS Eproms?

cheers,

ray

Dear Daniel
I already tried this, but grant[at]musictechnologiesgroup.com wrote me that several clients reported that these Bin's are not working properly so I'm looking for a new solution...
Any other suggestions?
Best

I have a working DSX with two versions of the eproms. I can sell you at cost price of the eproms. I advise you to send me the eproms to check if that is the problem.

At the moment a friend has this machine
But if I remember it right it's a JL Cooper Midi Interface - never seen one of these in a DSX.
I'll support you guys with some pictures a.s.a.p.
cheers,

Dear sarsipri,

I really appreciate your help.
Probably you have the solution I need.
At the moment the machine is at a friends place
If I remember it right there's a JL Cooper midi interface in the machine and one or two OS Eproms but I don't remember which OS. I'll support you with some pictures soon. I'll contact you by email a.s.a.p.

By the way do you have maybe also the Linn / Forat 9000 OS 7.09 Eproms?

I'm a owner of a huge collection of all these old machines but some of them are not working anymore - especially also my two Linn 9000's and I found no one here in europe who's able to fix these two machines - and to send them to Forat LA is very expensive and complicated because of tax reasons.

cheers,

ray

Sending the machines to USA is very expensive. I assume your linndrum needs a fix as the power and other parts are not Linndrums strongest points. First try to find somebody in Europe who can repair your machine, after that you can try to buy the eproms from the USA. Expect to pay around 500 Euro to get it repaired for each machine. I know some persons in Germany and the Netherlands.
