XBS"XBS has been making an effort to do more tech related stuff this month. In for repair today is a Roland TR-909 in messed up shape. Someone had tried to refurbish it and made most of it’s age and design related problems worse!..

So, I have to say that this is one of the most annoying designs ever conceived by man from a standpoint of repair and maintenance. The boards barely fit in on top of each other inside the case with some long shaft pots going through the switch board from the voice board. Everything needs to be taken apart to get to the switch board and that’s the one that gets the most abuse!"
