Leslie tremolo unit – 2 speed – Rotosonic wooden drum – not on ebay
February 5, 2012 by
Internal unit. Strongly made in wood. Will stand by itself but needs some sort of covering to make it look smart and also for electrical and physical safety
Could be made into a guitar leslie speaker tremolo effect unit.
Leslie part number 820308E. EMI number 518102
Full-size motors as in the early Leslie Tone Cabinets – 117 volt 50/60 Hz motors
Motor bearings feel free i.e. not siezed but will no doubt need oiling
Wooden Rotosonic drum with 9″ x 5″ loud speaker and Mercotac mercury connector.
Axis of rotation is horizontal, not vertical, so motors lie horizontally
Proper Leslie fabric covered belt
This unit also has a switching control circuit board fitted.
This should allow mains switching between the motors to be controlled by a low voltage – maybe by switching earth (ground) to one or other control wire.
Might have the info somewhere but will only hunt for this for the buyer.
Collect only – too heavy to post – £100 o.n.o.
No guarantee in view of age
EME-213 floppy disk drive units and FDD repairs
January 29, 2012 by
EME213 disk drive
This is used in various Technics pianos, keyboards and organs and in some other makes like Korg and Yamaha.
I don’t sell these but can usually repair them. If not, I can usually modify a standard drive to work. This is more expensive because it takes a lot longer. The standard drive has different connectors so I have to provide these and hand-wire them to the disk drive connector or interface board / pcb.
Repair cost depends on the amount of work
Could be anywhere from £60 to £160 + p&p costs
Korg 01/W FD with new backlight (EL panel) for sale – not on ebay
January 26, 2012 by
Good condition. Was all working OK when I last tested it.
When I have a buyer I’ll check it all through again.
The EL backlights in many old Korg synths have either died by now or
have become very difficult to read because the backlight is dim or has failed.
I fitted a new replacement backlight and the display is easy to read now.
Collect only – am not risking posting this!
SOLD – may have another one for sale in a while
Also in the process of repairing an 01R/W for sale
No bag or case
Owner’s manual can be downloaded here
http://www.korg.co.uk/support/downloads/01wfd_dl.php
Replacement backlights are likely to be needed for any of the older Korgs like M1, M1R, 01/W, 01/W FD, 01R/W, T2, T3, i3 and Wavestations. Roland and Yamaha synths of this age also suffer from the same problem. Typically Roland D50, D70, Yamaha W5, W7.
Getting to the display is not easy in most synths. Fitting a new EL panel can be a bit of a fiddle (and usually needs quick, accurate soldering) but it’s nothing like as difficult as getting to the display in the first place. The display is usually the last thing you get to having completely disembowelled the synth. Definitely not a job for anyone. You need to be the sort of person who is really, really good at taking things apart – very methodically – and getting everything back together perfectly in a piece of equipment you’ve never seen before. I can do this for you. I do this sort of work all the time for a living.
