It wasn’t that bad! I did my homework first and watched the install and cleaning vids Paul did a few times through - that and I moved slowly. That’s always the key to success with this kind of stuff (after studying of course haha). Thanks for checking out the vid! I figured I was doing it, might as well film it. 🙌
I agree! The ones with factory midi have the midi-related features printed on the top case and it looks ugly, so adding midi to this one preserve the good looks of the original without sacrificing the functionality (although I don't love the ports in the side, but it works). This is my second one I've owned (the first was super brief) - I scored one on eBay in like 2018 but it arrived half smashed and wasn't working properly, so I had to return it. I've had so many HEAVY vintage boxes arrive terribly packaged over the years, but anyway haha. Took me a few years to find another one of these at a good enough price to pull the trigger, but this one fit the bill. It's physically massive, and fairly limited by today's standards, but it's got a cool sound and definitely has some mojo.
very soothing watch. love these machines, think I'd be a nervous wreck opening one up

Nice video, very slick. And thanks for the mentions!
No, thank you! Appreciate your vids and of course your commitment to keeping these things alive! 🙏
Such a handsome machine. Sounds nice, would love that boi with some midi.

@@Duskmos It's really all about the mojo at the end of the day. It certainly didn't hold people back!
