I am part way through a Dada upgrade on mine. I was watching a good video on You Tube yesterday on this re-build plus cleaning up the push buttons and general refurb.
Hi yes I did the Dada refresh on this a few years back and it worked well. I saw the youtube vid last night on dismantling the 33 switch gear...not for the feint hearted...lots of potential for losing unobtanium parts to the carpet monster!

I may try Mooly's IPA and straw approach as I have a bottle in the cupboard but if not for my use (home office) being stuck in one filter step isn't a big deal...the bass/treble etc all still work fine.

Mike
