replacing the power chord on a pro one

Post by linndrum9000 » Wed May 23, 2007 7:17 pm

Hi there synth heads. I was wondering if anyone knows if replacing the power chord on a sci pro one is something that could be easily done at a local music store. Im thinking about purchasing one that is missing the ground prong. Any help would be great. Thanks!

It's easy enough that anyone could do it. Call the music store and find out - going on an assumption isn't going to help :roll:
I like vintage synths....

Seriously now...

I don't know how the ProOne was put together. I assume if you know anybody who's handy with a soldering iron, it would be pretty easy.

The other (easier) option would be to just buy a new plug from a hardware store, cut the old one off, and put the new one on. They usually have screw terminals, so you don't even have to do any soldering. Just wire cutters and a screwdriver and you're all set. Just make sure you wire the posts right. Also, if the wires are stranded, twist them counter-clockwise before you wrap them around the screws. That'll keep them from fraying under the screw tension.
