Thanks. Your videos are so well planned, scripted, and shot. I would love to see more of them, but I appreciate that making the video adds a lot of uncompensated time to each repair. Thanks for the ones you do post.
Loved it. If I were this customer I would always send to you and be so thrilled. Whomever did these previous repairs was no where as experienced as you. Thanks for sharing, absolutely loved it!
11:24 someone has been practicing! Awesome video! I now know what “Collet knobs” and “Vernier pots” are actually called. Thank you for sharing, sounds Amazing! Excellent craftsmanship and attention to detail as always. 👏👏
0:54 Funny thing is... when I pulled my chassis from my "outer case" on my FVS, I definitely noticed the heft of the case because the inner chassis is significantly lighter, but... I had to be careful because the inner chassis can be a bit fragile. 5:30 Appearances of the knobs from the later "OB" series and Xpander/Matrix-12 synths are likely for that assumption. Luckily, I had copies of the old service manual which describe how to disassemble the knobs. 9:10 Tom Oberheim had commented during a couple of his SEM reissue press releases that he was not crazy about the molex connectors, for which I've experienced some fragility with them. I also experienced what Tom mentioned with the freq. vernier knobs as well (easily knudged and would get "loose" over time) and the filter mode switch knob? Can't find new direct replacements or convenient substitute parts for years. EDIT: The thing I notice when I serviced the SEM's themselves was with the exception of the black molex connector, the rest are actually "white" nylon that were dyed by fabric coloring.
That us one rude sounding synth, nice clean work all around, this is like asrm for an electronics aficionado, I was just wondering what you used to re-lube the scratchy pots
Another great video, thanks!. That's what mine looks like. The guy I bought it from removed it from the case and threw the case away! On the upside, I can carry my FVS under one arm now.
You had to play Jump, didn't you? 🤦😆 BTW, what sort of lubricant goes onto the shafts of those pots once they're cleaned? I've got a couple of pots that are not-so-smooth anymore on an old amplifier and I'd like to return them to their original smoothness. Thanks for sharing.
hello mr synth guy, I have an original Arturia minibrute, and I believe it sat too close to a humidifier. It didn't turn on one day when I plugged it in. When I opened it up I noticed mineral deposits on the board. Do I take ISO and a toothbrush to it? There's nobody in my city that could repair something like this, and even if I didn't get it to work, it's a beautiful piece of technology and a shame to dispose of it. I don't understand how to safely dig into this as I'm not experienced enough.

Jump has never sounded better, that thing sounds so good.
Would love to see the procedure/scope/schematics details when you trace problems like the PWM opamp failure.

My OB-E plugin is saying see I wasn’t that expensive after all 😂
Fantastic work, as always! Thanks for the videos!

I'd take my gear to you in a heartbeat. Great work.

Wonderful work!!!
I wanted to use those sifam style knobs for my diy synth but then I saw the price :(

😳😳😳😳😳 hope you found a new one, or at least make made a new one? Would like to hear about it. My dream synthesizer!💕 have 2 SEM reissue + OBX-8.
@@kamelhamlaoui9983 I'm going to leave it case-less for now. It doesn't go anywhere and it's the only way it will fit in the space I have it.
@@RandyPiscione oh ok. Take care of it. If you know a broken one… let me know! Thanks for your answer.
Another informative video. What do you use for potentiometer lube? I've been using the Nye 716.

What do you use to lubricate pots and faders?

Can you recommend anyone in NY to work on my FVS?
