"A really tidy and clean Juno 106 that has just undergone refurbishment and service. The Voice have been removed stripped of the coating that is known to cause problems, and replaced in the PCB. All the signal line electrolytic capacitors have been replaced in the Jack board, the BBD chips have been replaced (no noisy chorus function) and the key-bed has been fully stripped, cleaned and reassembled.A full tune and service procedure has been conducted to the service manual procedure and specs.
Visual condition is very good with only minor marks on the main surfaces or end caps. The printing and paint on the control face remains perfectly clear and clean in all areas.. There is a minor scratch on the front lip of the control panel above the keybed (not on the main control surface) and a small scratch on the RH plastic end cap. You will not see these in the pictures, they really are minor blemishes. The frequency slider and DCO slider have both been replaced with new parts to assure faultless performance. All pots, buttons, switches and the bender all work correctly and smoothly and have no caps missing. All the blue and white buttons have been cleaned to bring them back to original colour (on most 106’s you will see the blue buttons have turned green with age)..."
Looks amazing - how did you get the panel buttons back to their original colour? I'd love to do mine...

ReplyDeleteSo I watched the videos with more excitement than I should probably admit in public...but then felt the crushing weight of dissapointment return as I realised it didn't work. Can it be done!?
DeleteI don't know. Curious if they are replacement buttons. I seem to think there might be some out there, but I post so much it all becomes a blur over time. Do a search for Juno-106 replacement and see what comes up on the site and the interwebs. There are parts dealers out there that sell replacement parts for synths. You can also trying joining and asking on the Analogue Heaven list: http://machines.hyperreal.org/Analogue-Heaven/
DeleteOk, thanks mate - I've done a lot of searching on this, but I shall continue my quest for blue buttons. Would be great if someone just made some new ones...
