Default Re: New restoration project - Roland XP-50

Hi Kevin. Yes, I have the manual with schematics and apparently failure in this area is almost universal due to bad surface mount electrolytics. Worst case scenario is that electrolyte has eaten away tracks and vias. What worries me more, though, is what Parceforce will have managed to do to it during shipping...

I appreciate that this bit of kit is of limited interest to most on the forum, partly because of its relative youth, but the technology used is not dissimilar to that in some other more common devices that either are, or soon will, be regarded as vintage and worth saving.

Cheers,
Steve.
