"Synthspa completed the following work on the synth:

1. PANEL BOARD REBUILD:
All faders rebuilt, all non-functioning buttons replaced.

2. MODULE BOARD REBUILD:
All six 80017a voice chips restored and guaranteed working, calibrated to factory standards, and small defects within the module board repaired.

3. POWER BOARD REBUILD:
Large electrolytic capacitors replaced and power jack converted to the standard 3 prong computer cable receptacle. Includes new 3-prong power cable.

4. CPU BOARD REBUILD:
A new battery and mounting chassis (originally they were soldered in) and all of your sounds archived.

5. KEYBED CONTACTS CLEANED

6. BENDER BOARD REBUILD:
Clean volume & portamento knobs, switch, sliders, and bender contacts.

In addition to this, Sythspa installed custom Cherry-Wood sides on the 106, which gives it an amazing vintage look somewhat similar to the Juno-60. I also had the lighted mod wheel installed by SynthSpa.

There is some cosmetic wear on the synth, as evidenced in the photos. Most wear is in the form of minor scratches, with the possibility of some tiny dents that are not noticeable to me. Note the rust spots between the LFO and DCO sections, as well as near the CHORUS section."

A new battery and mounitng chassis (originally they were soldered in) and all of your sounds archived.

5. KEYBED CONTACTS CLEANED

This 106 has also had wood end caps added and a red LED bender. The only thing missing are the slider caps from the bender section. The folks at SynthSpa forgot to return those to me when they sent the synth back. Otherwise, its in amazing condition and sounds incredible.

Comes with an IEC cord (3 prong)."

ROLAND HS-60 JUNO-106 ANALOG SYNTHESIZER SYNTH

Published on Mar 31, 2014 SynthgodXXX·44 videos

"ROLAND HS-60 (JUNO-106) POLYPHONIC ANALOG SYNTHESIZER! 100% ZERO talking! Hell YESSSS!

***WATCH YOUR SPEAKER VOLUME! THIS VIDEO CAN GET LOUD!!***

This HS-60 has been modified w/ BLUE LED's, 3 prong power input & replaceable battery clip!! All VOICE CHIPS WORK PERFECT!!

One PROBLEM: The battery dies quickly after you switch it off!!
Seems to be a grounding issue inside dealing with the battery clip and/or the board it is on. I don't know how or which wires inside it that need to be grounded or where to connect them! If you are able to shoot me a message & help me out it would save me from having to sell this beautiful synthesizer! I loaded the presets into this HS-60 to demonstrate that it WORKS GREAT & SOUNDS FANTASTIC!!

But like I said, the presets go BYE-BYE once it turns off. I can use this synthesizer like a JUNO-6 in "manual" mode with no problem! All I really need to do is send it to the fantastic SynthSpa & get the problem fixed, I'm just short on $$$... I just bought a Roland SH-09 & have to wait... unless there is a person who can help me find which wires or what to do to fix it myself!! Again I am not trying to show off my playing skills, just showing how AWESOME this underrated synthesizer can be! Recorded into Ableton Live 9 with no FX.

Thank you for watching! Please subscribe!
More synthesizer videos coming soon!!! ;)"

Custom Made Roland MKS-30 Voice Chip Clones

Roland MKS-30 with 2 voice replaced to clones

Published on Nov 29, 2012 by Alexey Taber

"custom made juno chip"

Curious if these are SynthSpa's. Note there is no mention of the JX-3P. The MKS-30 is known to be a JX-3P in a rack with some modifications. The PG-200 programmer works on both.

Update via Alexey: "I developed my own project for the repair roland synths . in the future I plan to add different versions of the project : 12/24 db switch (like in roland jupiter8), aditional filter switch -add board with more classic filters polivox/moog ladder/korg ms/steiner-parker/arp4075.

and i do clone mc5534 fo juno106. i plan to modify original schematic of mc5534 to add additional tuning voice(2th dco). i maked juno 106 chorus mod- to reduce noise and add 3 channel essembly chorus, add speed, depth ,feedback pot.....
With best regards Alexey"

ROLAND JUNO-106 POLYPHONIC ANALOG SYNTHESIZER WITH BLUE LEDS, BLUE LIGHTED BENDER & BLUE LED 6 VOICE DSI POLY METER!!

ALL SIX VOICES WORK, IT WAS MODIFIED BY SYNTHSPA FOUND HERE ON EBAY. THIS UNIT HAS THE "Mk II" MOD THAT ADDS THE "DSI POLY METER" THAT LIGHTS UP WHEN A VOICE(KEY) IS TRIGGERED. THIS MUST HAVE BEEN A SYNTHSPA "Mk II" PROTOTYPE, BECAUSE IT DOES NOT HAVE THE ON/OFF SWITCHES FOR THE POLY METER OR THE BLUE LIGHTED BENDER. THE SURFACE WAS GLOSSED OVER, VERY WELL DONE I MUST ADD. IT IS VERY SHINY. THE WHITE PAINT ON THE KEYBOARD HAS YELLOWED A BIT, BUT NOT TOO BAD! IT GIVES IT A TRUE VINTAGE FEEL & MORE OF A JUNO-60 LOOK! IT HAS THE 3-PRONG POWER SUPPLY ADDED TOO. ALL 6 VOICE CHIPS WORK AND BATTERY WAS CHANGED OUT WITH A COIN BATTERY CLIP SO YOU CAN CHANGE THE BATTERY OUT WHEN IT GETS LOW. IT IS LOADED WITH A "BEST OF" JUNO-106 PATCH COLLECTION SO IT HAS JUST ABOUT EVERY ANALOG SOUND YOU COULD EVER NEED FOR STUDIO OR LIVE USE. BASS, LEADS, PADS, EFX, ETC.!!!

SO ALL KEYS, SLIDERS, BUTTONS, KNOBS, LEDS, OUTPUTS, TAPE, MIDI, BENDER ALL WORK. IT WAS MODIFIED & FIXED UP FROM THE SYNTHSPA. THIS WAS MY 3RD JUNO-106 FROM THEM, SO I KNOW IT WORKS & ROCKS!!!"

"Juno 60 recently completed by the SynthSpa. It has the works - recapped / calibrated / real wood sides / blue LEDs / Blue LCD / Lighted lucite bender wheel. It has the satin finish on it which is great for not showing fingerprints. It still has the DCB as I have been using a JSQ-60 sequencer with it (listed in another auction) ..."
