Vintage Synth Repair

I suppose there's factory reset function so after changing battery  
you can easily get original sounds. Of course you can save bulk dump  
into external sequencer if you have your own sounds or other than  
factory set in RAM.

It's not necessary to change battery with plugged power supply,  
anyway instrument should be switched off during the change.

I just can't remember if battery is in holder or soldered...  
hopefully in the holder like in all newer Yamaha machines. Just use  
the same type, usually it's CR2032.

Good luck.
