Repair LinnDrum Vintage Drum Computer Reparatur

LinnDrum with some issues. The 5V rail was way too low to constantly work correct with TTL. Once I adjusted that the LinnDrum worked just fine. But... there were some other issues like caps that needed to be replaced, buttons that needed cleaning. So it turned into a full restoration job.

I found physical leaking matsushita capacitors, some way out of tolerance

None of the potentiometer/switches were cleaned. I took over the restoration process.

There are lethal voltage exposed in electronic devices. Unless you know what you are doing, don’t try this. If you following along, you doing so at your own risk.

I’m documenting repairs for my reference and yours. I do synth restorations and repair with a specialty in vintage synthesizers, drum computer and other vintage gear, based in Düsseldorf, GER. Get in touch about your synth situation!
