Vintage Synth Repair

Hi!

I've owned my JX from new since 1990, but for the last year or so it's been 
getting very tempromental. It keeps cutting out after being turned on, and can 
usually be coaxed back to life by applying pressure to the bottom of the case.

Has anyone else come across this, or does anyone have an idea.

Regards.

...sounds like a cold solder joint...perhaps on the power jack.

Hi check the solder connection on the voltage regulators. These are weak 
point and usually end up cracking. hope this helps analoguejeff
