VS rack repair done by Wine Country
2019-07-10 by raltoja@...
I sent off my Prophet VS Rack to Wine County
Sequential Productions. The Fedex ground shipping from Maryland to California
cost $125 each way. The repair involving replacing 3 chips that I had fried
when I had incorrectly seated the loose internal cable that connects the
motherboard to the front panel. It took 2 hours of tech time to check all the
affected circuits and replace the bad chips. Thankfully, they were inexpensive
chips and could readily be sourced. Tech time is $90 per hour.
I am glad that my VS now powers up again and also that the
cartridge function now works. While it was there, I had them replace the
soldered in battery. In the US, this is the expert service you want to be
working on your Sequential gear. They have been repairing Sequential
Instruments for at least the last 25 years.
