one tip, as you are screwing into plastic, after you have lostened the screws, do them back up with a jewellers screwdriver so you only use finger tip tension, not your whole hand, which over torques the thread stripping it. the same thing is done by people servicing computers, I phones, etc. as they are micro mechanics, dealing with small and delicate parts.

Borders look better

Como saber se o Diodo P6KE18CA, está bom? Ou aberto?

Great video. Mine is also a BA662 version. In these early units there’s an issue where the LFO will leak into the audio output when the filter mod amount is set high and LFO speed is audio rate. Have you noticed this in your unit? Cheers.

Really excellent work ... I've recapped many of my synths but I've stayed away from CMOS chips (ANY chips for that matter)... maybe I'll get brave and try and do a complete service one day ... great job 🙂

Watching closely as mine needs work.. thanks for uploading this

Hello, I'd like to make some of these myself and I'm trying to find the parts. It seems the inductor XAL5050-562MEB is not available any more. Is there a replacement? Also, what is the part called you used for the contact pins?

nice like 36

Good luck with the JP-4 restoration... it's an oldie bit a goodie. These type of repair videos are a great reference source if we're ever in the same situation ... I replaced the dull green LEDs on my old Yamaha An1X on the weekend with much brighter orange LEDs and everything I needed to know was posted on YT.

looking forward to this! i have a jp4 where the only sound im getting out is the LFO, no voices can be heard. would like to diagnose the problem of this beast!

I made a template on my 3d printer so I could get a perfect sizing for this.

I am restoring my old vic and would love to have one of these. Do you still have any of them?

One more question: how did you open it?

With all the "epoxy" talk it sounded hard to fix, but this actually looks pretty easy. Seeing this I envision an even easier fix: remove the PCB completely and put this piece inside: IRM-10-5 Meanwell PCB all-in-one switching PSU.

hi any chance u could tell me where the long silver Pin at 16 minutes 12 seconds places inside the meter, please, many thanx M

man, cutting the plastic is horrible.. did it like 4 or 5 times.. im still waiting for factory-made plastic shells for these laminated screens..

Thank you for the video. Today I received from a cinematographer friend, a Minolta Spotmeter F and a Minolta Autometer IV F. Neither of them are working. The display goes blank. So I will use your video as a reference to review the power button cables, their cables and connections. Thank you!

What would be cool is a sided by side comparison of the old one and this upgrade.

We hear your mic on but you can’t talk?

How's the battery draw on this mod? How many watts?

Great job on the design and PCB's. Unfortunately, the next part of this video is missing. I was really looking forward on seeing how you got along!

Does anyone know what The Component is? Tiny nuclear reactor?

Hi, I was so happy to find your video. I recently bought one of these on Marketplace and it worked when I tested but when I went to use it on a shoot a month or so later the measuring button does not work. All the other functions seem to be fine. I can change settings as needed but when I press the measuring button it always reads "0". I can see the switch assembly clearly at 5:00 in your video. Any tips on how I might repair it? What I should look for. I had a similar problem with an old Minolta incident meter where the unit worked but the on/off button did not function (I could power up by popping the battery in and out). I successfully repaired that by disassembling and cleaning the trace with contact cleaner. Maybe this one functions in a similar way? THanks.

Now I know how to get in there if my Spot-F ever goes down. I would also take a swab with some alcohol on the tip to clean off the inside ends of those contact switches or buttons, just in case one of them was touched and picked up some hand-oil while working in the insides.

Hello. I've just received mine, but my viewfinder is different...Some Minolta F spotmeters have flat viewfinders, some of them have protruding one. Why it's like that ? Also, I don't know how to turn eyepiece to make a dot a bit sharper inside a viewfinder, do you know anything about it maybe ?

No audio, waste of time!

I’d like to know where you got the screen and the item/part number.

Brilliant. Instant sub.

Great video! I bought a game gear micro and the screen broke. I tried to fix it with a screen from a smart watch, and the lcd light came on but no image. Maybe one day you can do a screen mod on that since there are no replacement parts available? I’d love to see it. Thank you.

Awesome job!! 🎮

I have one and it has the same defect. Nobody could fix it sadly.

Use a fuse before a TVS diode and a common mode choke followed by a capacitor after that. Mild spikes get clipped, but major ones cause crowbar effect. You can also use a FET follower that cuts the power when the TVS cuts in and trigger a crowbar circuit with a super fast transit time. I used circuits like that for protection of RF amplifiers.

Do you sell the pcbs?

Great stuff! Are you planning on selling it? Cheers

ｐｒｏｍｏｓｍ 🤪

Hello. Really great tracing, congratulations. Would you sell pcbs? Thanks. Adrien

What is the amp on that fuse???

nicc work

Excellent video! Great job swapping these out! People still continue to fit ceramics in place of electrolytics and it really annoys me.

Great idea. Maybe turn the old badge into a fridge magnet.

Hello - thanks for your video. I am replacing the voltage regulator on my old Vic 20 and then I saw you replacing both on the 1541 disk drive. I bought a PSU5 from EZSBC for the Vic 20 and was thinking about replacing one on the 1541 but I cannot find a similar replacement for the 12 volt. Would you sell me a set? I like repairing the 1541 drives as I also repair Commodore 64's as a hobby.

Verily You shall conquer Constantinople what a wonderful leader will her leader be and what a wonderful army will that army be

Good replacement of those terrible ceramics caps. I bet Turrican 2 is not your favourite game :) ! Cheers, M

Terrible, terrible, HORRIBLE advice. I don’t do my own recaps, I have it professionally done, but I know to listen to the wise people in the community. facebook.com/groups/CommodoreAmiga/permalink/10158438301574157/
