Repair Kawai R-100 vintage digital drummachine
Kawai R-100 vintage digital drummachine with dirty buttons. Since I have a bunch of tactiles laying around which I usually order from good electronic stores such as mouser, digikey, farnell, reichelt or conrad (eBay, if no other chance), I could replace them quickly. I noticed some UV discoloration, but since you cannot see a change I din't use retrobrite here. I cleaned the potentiometer in my usual way and ordered some dust cover replacements from a college. Modification was already in here. You can plug in different chips for different sounds. Everthing tested ok. I liked the result. Like always I share my knowledge and pictures with you.
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.
