I think the original DX7 was probably among the last service friendly Yamahas. Having had the (dis)pleasure of replacing the LCD on a friend's SY-77, I can say that the newer chassis style is indeed a pain!

Yamahas are a pain: you basicly have to turn the synth over, remove the bottom cover, then remove EVERYTHING from the insides...one step at a time. MARK EVERY PLUG AND CABLE!! Keep track of all screws - some are close - but not quite - the same size as others. GO SLOW and make notes and drawings. T...

The 707 and 727 have been on my wanted list for a while and I've noticed that the prices in the UK seem to have shot up in the last few months.

I want one of these, but not for £399.
