As an old musician I'm into vintage gear. Done a few amps over the years now looking at vintage synths. Just embarked on a Yamaha DX27 which is a cheaper version of the famous DX7. It had been sitting in a dusty garage for a 10 years powered up it just showed garbage on the display and no sound. Fitted a new system battery and did a factory reset and it all burst into life. Much cleaning of contacts and cabinet and she lives. One slider knob is missing and they seem as rare as hens teeth, but on e-bay a guy in Greece is 3D printing them. Hopefully I can sell it for a reasonable price. I would keep it but apart from a good bass sound they are somewhat limited as only have 4 oscillators (the DX7 has 6). Good fun doing it though.
