I've not found any drop in substitutes through the major distributors, so I've had replicas of the originals remanufactured and I carrry them on my site: https://synthchaser.com/product-category/parts/arp/omni/ I also have made LED-illuminated sliders for the Omni 2. I find to get the originals clea...

yes i meant 4700 uf. Have bought on ebay now. Many thanks for the help !!

I wouldn't buy caps on eBay. Get them from a reputable electronics dealer like any of the ones Rasputin named above.

Don't buy the 3080s or any parts for that matter on eBay. See if Jameco or some reputable seller still has any. If all else fails, I have a high quality replacement submodule on my site...

Assuming you can't scope out the filter in a test circuit, you might consider testing the JFETs out of circuit before you try replacing the OTAs.

Check out my video:



LM301 is the most common failure in them. I'm working on 4 Odysseys in parallel now, two have the 4023 and both of them are bad and need to be excavated and repaired. You won't need to buy a replacement clone.

Unless it's a Chroma where you can configure it to have 16 voices with 1 oscillator each or 8 voices with 2 oscillators each.

If you're interested in the real deal, hit me up on my website. Oh? can't you find them under "Synthesizers" on your site... I've not got...

Parts/repair like the comps you were shown. Used/100% working, and restored. I'd expect a used/working Explorer I to be aro...

MPS5172 is the same as 2N5172 which is still available. 2N3904 should also work but it has a different pinout (EBC vs ECB).

Good for who? The buyer or the seller?

In general, I find that when a trimmer gets old, the carbon track gets damaged (indented, maybe?) where the wiper has been parked for years. Then you go to make a slight adjustment and you have erratic behavior close to the old parking spot of the wiper.
