Repair work on a vintage SP12 Drum Sampler from E-MU systems by Karel Post


YouTube via karelpostthuis
"First movie of a set describing the repair of a SP12 in critical state of decay.
The unit suffers very much of corrosion caused by an unknown liquid that has entered the machine in the past.
Repair is mainly reducing the corrosion-resistance that causes functions to fail.

I hope the machine will function 100% again........"

Repairing an E-MU SP12 part 2 by Karel Post

"A detailed film about the repair and revival of the SP12. It turned out the unit had suffered a major fluid spill in the past ,oxydizing the integrated circuits and its sockets. The frontpanel of the unit had lots of rust and other oxydation as well as defective switches and LED's. The display however was fine fortunately..................

Part 1 is about the revival of the CPU part, this is the cleanup and repair of some user parts and switches."
