- recapped power supply, new grounded power chord added
- complete overhaul of key bed (replaced j-wires, bushings, burnished bus bar)
- lit pot mod, replacement of all front panel switches and sliders (no more gunky, unresponsive parameters)
- high output and low output jacks switched so that high output is the 1/4" jack (most sensible for modern applications)
- cleaning out of conductive solder flux
- fully calibrated and tuned up
All of these things were done by a VERY experienced tech, who was trained by ARP in the seventies to be a certified technician. This work is of the highest caliber, and I paid an arm and a leg for it. Moreover, I have never had a single problem with this machine after having it serviced. The switches and sliders being brand new makes such an enormous difference in the practical application of this synth into your workflow. Get the best of both worlds: vintage feel with modern dependability.
The ARP Lumina upgrade comes from CMS.
