Failed repair attempt on the SY-1

Published on Jun 6, 2016 organfairy

Thought this was interesting. I always thought circuit board encapsulation was just an outer case. Apparently not.

"Last year I bought a Yamaha SY-1 that unfortunately turned out to be defective - and to add insult to misery the defective circuit board is potted with some black unknown substance.
This video shows my failed attempt to remove this material using acetone.

The music is "June Night" written by Abel Baer and I play it on a selection of toy keyboards from the brand MusicTime."

1980s style - live mode

Published on Jun 5, 2016 SynthMania

"A ditty in late '80s House style. Roland TR-707 and Roland Juno-60, multitracked, Alesis MidiVerb II patch 16 reverb, and a few additional effects (compressors, eq, delay) in the DAW - all but the drums and bass played live. That's it.

P.S. Looking forward to the first dufus who writes 'har, har, sounds like Yazoo's 'Situation', har har'. It does not want to sound, nor it was inspired by that great, classic song that we all love. This was not inspired by Situation, but by late '80s House."

Vintage/Historical Kurzweil K- 250 Keyboard/Synthesizer w/ POD SN 84100232

via this auction

"Vintage Kurzweil #K-250 (88-Key) Synthesizer Keyboard w/ POD (Pedal Controls and Power Supply). Instrument is in very good condition and everything works as it should. It has been used exclusively for Feature Film Music Scores. It has seen significant deployment through the years having been used on such features as: 'Star Trek III'('84), Cocoon ('85), 'Aliens' ('86), 'An American Tale' ('86), 'Willow' ('88) and "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" ('89) and more. This Particular Instrument has a rich History and would be a significant and desirable addition to any Music or Film Aficionado's Collection. This instrument has been well maintained and properly stored. It comes with 2--Anvil ATA Travel Cases which will require an internal overhaul with 'new foam'. The original foam protection has (Bio) degraded and needs replacement. There are some 'superficial' scratches but nothing serious. The control panel is missing 4 or 5 Control Knobs, however, the capacity for control is not affected. There are other K-250s out there, but we feel this is a 'One of a Kind' because of its rich and extensive history!"
