Re: Jupiter 6 tape?

2006-03-24 by Thomas B. Nast

I've got a Jupiter 6 (not mine) on my bench for a battery replacement (the 
battery was dead, so the volatile memory held nothing).  The owner thinks 
that the factory patches need to be played back into the Jupiter via 
cassette afterwards (a la Prophet 5).  Is this true?  If so, where can this 
tape be found or downloaded?

The Jupiter 6 uses a CR-1/3N battery with tabs.  These seem to be a bit 
difficult to find, but I found someone who has the $20K machine to weld 
tabs onto regular CR-1/3 batteries, which are quite common.  It 
is:  Electronic Supply, 425.774.5534, speak with Don.  His pricing is fair.
