Vintage Synth Repair

Hello there,

Have you managed to fix your Repeat function?

I had the same problem with mine.

I think something must've shorted when I was working on that circuit
board. If you're not careful, its easy to touch the row of connections
to the metal chassis.

Anyway, I'd love to know if you still need any help. I've just (three
days ago) finished completing the repairs on my Minikorg 2, after two
years of it being partially functional.


I have many resources and documents that may be of service to you. And
I can possibly help you troubleshoot your Repeater.

I actually had new wood panels made for my Minikorg 2 by
CustomSynth.co.uk, by the way.


I have one lingering problem with my Minikorg.. The three switches on
the left-hand side of the top panel (effect, sustain long, and travel
vibrato) have been broken since I got the synthesizer.. Do you know of
any replacement source?
