Re: OBXA Tandulum caps.
2 things: 1- just had my OBXA open, and i'm 99% sure the only tants are in the PSU. 2- just being honest here, but if you just want a working synth, you're better off just servicing your OBXA. if you are intent on going down the synth resto rabbit hole, i can guarantee you that about 50-70% of the r...

Re: Vintage synth prices
@Mr Knesh Fair enough, but then why buy any new piece of gear at all? I understand your point. But I still disagree. I made a TON of music with nothing but a Roland EM-10 and an 8-track recorder. I purchased other equipment to modify the way in which I made music, but the gear was not the device wh...
