"This JD-800 was professionally overhauled by one of the best techs in Alberta, Canada very recently (September 2022). A huge amount of time and money is spent on this unit, so it can be enjoyed for years without issues.

Here is the list of the works done on this Roland JD-800:

• Power supply is fully recapped, all capacitors on the power supply are replaced by high-quality ones.
• All 42 rubber-domed tactile switches are replaced by high-quality switches to insure longevity
• The intermittent WG KEY FOLLOW, CUTOFF FREQ, RESO, TVA BIAS POINT, and VALUE sliders are replaced
• All 6 arrow tactile switches are replaced
• R33–R36 (220Ω surface-mount) are replaced with through-hole equivalents. This upgrade provides very stable stereo and direct output.
• Some open surface-mount resistors are replaced
• All ¼” and DIN connectors are re-soldered
• All ¼” jacks and sliders are cleaned
• A fresh battery is installed

The red glue issue is not present on this unit."
