Default Re: New restoration project - Roland XP-50

although I've not worked on this paticular keyboard i've repaired lots or similar vintage computing equipment (Commodore Amiga 1200/600) as you have already mentioned bad surface mount electrolitics are very likely. if you dont repair this vintage of equipment very often, one word of caution be very carefull removing the old caps as the pads can lift for fun especially if the old cap has leaked badly.
