call Peter Miller at CAE sounds in San Mateo.  650.348.2737.  Tell him I referred you.  I bought one on ebay last year in bad shape and he got it up and running.  BTW, do you have the factor presets/patches?  If so, could I get a tape of them so I could load them into mine?  You can call me if you have any questions about the pricing or repairs he did to mine.

Great, thanks for the info I'll give him a call this week and I will
drop your name. Unfortunately, I do not have the tape with the factory
patches on them. However, I have found these sites:
http://analog.no/cms/factory-patches/oberheim-factory-patches and here
http://www.vintage-manuals.com/manual.asp?ID_Manual=166 that have the
OB-Xa tape as a wav file, you will just need to copy them to a tape,
or perhaps you can just send it as audio out from your PC. Also I'm
not sure if you are looking for MIDI capabilities but if you grab the
MIDI retrofit kit from Encore it is supposed to come with the factory
patches. They are a bit pricey around 300 bucks, but it is something
I'm thinking about doing after I get mine (hopefully) up and running.
