Ok I've learned my lesson with Korg parts ;-)
I have 2 x 01/w FD both with the similar noisy fault on all outputs.
Pretty much changed everything from the opamps to the caps, switched power boards and output analog boards all to no avail.
So assuming the copyright issues with the original manufacturers could be overcome would it be worth it having some short runs of motherboards made for a variety of synths. Would anyone be interest to start this as a project?
Not just for Korgs but other old synths with common faults.
It must be better to repair one machine than to rip the heart of another 2 or 3 to keep one going. I know we are not quite there yet with 3d printer fab for this type of thing so costs wont be incredibly cheap but it might be more friendly to the environment to repair rather than make land fills.
Anyone else have any opinions on this one? Of course the manufacturers may be totally against it in which case it would be a no-go.
Best regards
Tee.
