Trump threatens to 'obliterate' Iran power plants if Strait of Hormuz is not reopened within 48 hourshttps://ground.news/article/trump-threatens-to-obliterate-iran-power-plants-if-strait-of-hormuz-is-not-reopened-within-48-hours?utm_source=mobile-app&utm_medium=newsroom-share
thank you red circle , almost missed it
Reminds me of "Trials Fusion " , what a great game
The drop bears made piranha extinct years ago in Australia 🇦🇺
The fans can buy the old parts eg pistons, rods . Have seen race teams who mount a clock inside the big end bearing area of the rod and sell it with a piston in a case for a few hundred $$
I have been looking at DIY analog Synths and been doing some dreaming also , https://musicfromouterspace.com/I wouldn't mind the DX7 however not the first model of the DX7 , there's a model of the DX7 that has tactile switches etc similar to the M1 , can't remember exactly what it was however, I wouldn't say no to it
Thank you. It been an absolute pleasure to refurbish this M1. Im keeping this unit for myself. I have learnt a lot about how it works and have disassemble and reassemble for it down pat now. And now i have poured at least 30+ hours and parts in to it, no doubt it will out live myself . Will have to get another M1 , give it the same treatment and sell it. The M1 is such a sturdy synthesiser. You could just about dance an elephant on it and it wouldn't notice, lol. Absolutely fantastic the M1
I have already replace all tactile switches x 34 x 4 pins per switche , over 120 soldering joints just for the switches, i have also done the volume slider, waiting on the Value slider to arrive and will do it also, and about 40-50 capacitors i have replaced also. Have cleaned one octave of the keys so far. Have a few more octave to go. Got the "JJJ" playing in background listing to the Hottest 100. Internal battery replacement is pretty straightforward to do on the M1
No , however, thanks for the link
Its a Synthesiser thats almost 40 years old.It needs some TLC to keep it goi
And the point is ?
My mum died from cancer in 1995
Thank you
Thanks for your efforts
Im from Australia. Thanks for the link. It says they wont post to Australia. However, i will message them and see if they would do so
Maybe go hunting and find some electronic project labs. Thats how i learnt about electronics when I was kid. You can still buy them. They have spring mounted clips and wires and run on a few batteries. Fantastic to learn with. Or go brush up on your history of computers with say Charles Babbage and go from there.
The C64U has 8 X SID chips on boardIf you click my user name , you'll see a post before this one with the installation of the chips. I wanted to add this to the previous post however it wont let me
Very nice. I had an Amiga500 and still regret selling it. Grew up with Tandy Colour Computer 1,2,3 had a blast with the Cocos. This time I get to relive my childhood and this time with a C64U Starlight. Fun times ahead for sure
Thank youJust tested it with some music for the SFX Yamaha sound chip and it worked a treat, had to upload a separate post to add a quick video of it running. It works a treat
You'll be pleased to knowThe Korg M1 is now reassemble And it worksYayWill disassemble it again in a few weeksWill replace a few extra capacitors in the power supply is have in the cupboard that i forgot to do, DohAndI will remove the keyboard, wash all keys , re grease, replace felt , and reassemble
Absolutely PhotosAnd Dymo labeller for the winAndBefore removing the cableIf possible Use a Nikko pen and mark one end of the cable and plug/ PCB so you know what orientation it goes back in as sometimes the plug can seem to push back on in even if its 180° out on some plugs i have come across And Most importantly Do not rushJust take it easy, relax, and enjoy it all 😎
No time for thatMustFixKorg
You will be assimilated, resistance is futile
Im the dishwasher ;-)Isopropyl alcohol worked
Its now day 2 of the Korg M1 recapping and volume slider and tactile switches replacement. I have just got the 34 tactile switches to solder in , remove them all last night. 12 hours straight yesterday working on the M1 , an absolute labour of love for sure. I have awoken with a headache from the 12 hour stint yesterday wearing a magnifying headband and once I have the switches done I think i wont bother measuring the old capacitors, I just can't be bothered.
The actual keyboard and PCB for the Korg M1 very clearly has got Yamaha written on it , as back in 1988 Korg was using Yamaha keyboards and im fairly certain it came from the DX7 in the first place ;-)
There's a few different posts i have done todayIm still working on it nowJust doing the tactile switchesI have replaced as a guess about 30 capacitors so far in this M1
It comes OEM with 16 voltage capacitors, replaced with 50 voltage capacitors for longevity, same capacitance value as OEM though
Old Synthesiser are on the come back, there's parts around, i found there's parts on Aliexpress also , i grabbed some spare cables and power switch as well as the tactile switches. I slowly getting towards the board that has the tactile switches and volume slider etc and they will be also done
