I have used low temp magnet wire to repair damaged traces. IMO it is relatively easy because you can tin a small bit on the end of the wire and attach it to a solder pad on one side of the break, trim to length, then repeat on the other side of the break. It takes a couple seconds to burn through th...

Definately likely that there is a dodgy cap in the mix. I changed out the styrene s/h caps on my P5 a while back due to corrosion from moisture (Anvil case foam + humidity + years of storage in Florida) and immediately after lost a voice. One of the brand new caps was bad. Thankfully, that's all it ...

Excellent!

Glad you got it sorted out.

Definately strange. I would expect it would be something with that ribbon cable/connector changeout.

A partial or no connection from ribbon to connector or even pins being shorted? Maybe happening only under pressure when connected?

Hope you get it sorted out.

Synthparts was a bit quicker than me with the post. He has alot of good stuff there.

+1 on what DonT said. I had to replace all the pots in my Prophet 5, and I found some at digikey that were the same size, but I had to do ALOT of modding to get them to work. All the originals were frozen or broken due to long storage, neglect, and anvil case foam deterioration/moisture. WCS lists p...

I should also have read the replies better too......Sorry about that. I think these particular tops look great. My originals are so trashed after being subjected to the foam deterioration that the old Anvil cases are famous for. So, it's just the P5, 10, and T8 with these. Do you know of any other m...

I did find out that the bevel is slightly narrower on the samples I have. It was explained that during manufacture, this aspect can vary a lttle from batch to batch. The silver ones I show were a sample to compare to the originals. When I get the new ones in, I can bring the height down very easily,...

Cool, These silver top ones are all I have at the moment, but I will have the black top/silver line ones shortly. I just wasn't sure if the caps are the same style for all the different models that sequential made.

No, just the aluminum caps for the top of the knobs. Sorry, I should've worded my post better.

Not sure if I put this in the right place, but.... Are there any differences between the knob caps on the P5, P10, P600, etc...? Curious because I just got hold of some knob caps that are virtually identical to the ones on the P5. Same style, diameter, just a wee bit taller-maybe .008. Was thinking ...

Just got the answer-Yes it is. I feel very stupid for missing it in the first place. I've finally gotten where I can resume work on my P5 rev. 3.3 again after many, many months. When I worked on her last, I changed out the 1/4" jacks as the originals were very crappy. I was just about to the point o...

Yeah, the rev.3 tech manual says 5837. But that pic is U427 in my machine. The other noise chip on board 3 (U375)is the same. I could not locate a datasheet for this one either. Definately strange.

You're welcome! It seems to be a neat mod to do. However, the noise chips in my P5 are not marked MM5837, instead 8119DB. I'm not quite sure what the deal is there. Possibly an upgraded chip or different manufacturer's # for an eqivalent part? Mine's a rev. 3.3 s/n 4992. http://i41.tinypic.com/29wmh...
