Rare Ensoniq and Alesis spare parts

Post by OldEnsoniqTech » Tue Dec 28, 2021 8:02 pm

Hello everyone. I was an Ensoniq and Alesis service tech for many years in the dim distant past. While cleaning out my workshop today, I found a treasure trove of very rare, unused electronic components I had completely forgotten about. This stash includes CPU'S, keyboard controllers, display drivers, RAM, custom programmed CPLD's, a heap analog parts such as SSM, CEM type. I have no idea how to get these parts to the right people who are trying to repair or restore these products. I would like to see them bring some of this old gear back to life. Any ideas?
