@@JamBurglar no, sorry. Some of them could be stock DX sounds

I've never had to open a fader more than once, so I don't know..

@@pjwhite42 OK, it is fine for a one time thing then, still risky though. I have opened pots & some other things years ago to clean them out. I try very hard not to do that anymore as I have found the risk of breakage is very high. So I tend to regard it as an absoute last resort after all else has failed. Usually squirting F5 into the faders & sliding up and down a few times brings then back to life. Assuming you blow free dust out with CO2 first of course. I would try to find some other peace of junk gear to canabolise parts from before opening up a componant in that way, becaus it's gone wrong for me a few times in the past. Usually I can do it the one time, maybe a 2nd time but a 3rd would be really pushing it. It's not really intended to be serviced in that way, those tabs can break off very easily.

It might just need cleaning.

@pjwhite42 thank you I appreciate the support I'll give it a shot.

Cleaned the buttons, but now when I turn on the unit I get a frozen code and the swing button is activated ?

@@crusingandbrusingtv3824 you may have gotten a switch stuck on. Did you attempt to remove any switch caps without removing the front panel circuit board? This is a common cause for bending the switch contact wires out of shape.

It could be original. Sync-to-tape was added at the factory on later models. And cables were usually either blue or gray.

Yes. 10 string Bich - Perfect 10

@@pjwhite42 thank you very much

You can get them from Digikey.com.

@@pjwhite42 Thanks Paul, would you happen to know what part number? I've been searching there but don't see a fit yet. Thank you.

@@AnalogFunk something like CKN4080-ND from digikey, or C&K KS11R22CQD

Does the noise go away after triggering all drums? There is a known problem with EPROMs that have widely different values in the first two address locations, but only right after powering up the machine, before the first trigger event.

Sorry, no.

The earlier DX model has all the same type of switches, for drum triggers and control buttons. The later DXa model is like the one in this video, with different control buttons.

I wonder if they are 3rd party replacements.

I haven’t tried this, but if you can direct the spray into the fader through the dust cover slot and catch any drips, it could work. Maybe try it on one fader first before doing all of them. Just don’t use anything like WD-40 or other oily substance.

@@pjwhite42 Ok thanks again yeh was gonna use “deoxit fader “, just Weary of spraying anything liquid into even the potentiometer it freaks me out haha, but looking at some videos it seems normal so I’ll give it a try.

Paul sorry to bug ya but you seem very knowledgeable ...I have a question about a power supply to an oberheim ob32 squared I recently bought the back of the unit says AC 10.5 V but it came with a +12v 1A could this get buy or what power supply would you recommend I don’t wanna fry it over time .. I really do appreciate your feedback, happy holidays.

@@bryceheffinger8895 sorry I don't know anything about this unit. If it says it wants ac input, though, I don't think it would work with DC.

@@pjwhite42 no worries thanks for the response Paul.

They probably need cleaning. See my other video.

@@pjwhite42 Awesome, thanks Paul.

Drop me an email and let me know what mod(s) you would like. Email link can be found at at www.electrongate.com/dmxfiles.

I haven't tried that. Maybe I will next time.

I am not familiar with this fibre pen. Do you have a source you can share?

We're all just doing the best with the knowledge we have, but thanks for the advice!

After watching, I really don't think his method is that big of a deal. Will these switches wear out after a while? Yup. But probably after several repairs and probably decades of use. Anyone still wanting to use it will just have to source new parts, which will probably be 3D printed in 10 minutes by then. Not a big deal.

Use only grease specifically made for faders.

Try clearing the memory (after backing up any important sequences). Hold down the ERASE button while turning on the power.

Great reference, and I hadn't realized those were the machines they were using. Such a classic track and great use of the sounds from these classic machines.

That's one of two machines I modded to have individual trigger outputs for all 24 drums. The leds indicate the triggers. You can see the trigger output jacks next to each led.

Cool!

J M this happens if the first two bytes on the EPROM are not the same value, or at least close. If you reprogram the first two bytes to zero, you can fix the problem. You can do this with a device programmer without erasing the chip.

@@pjwhite42 thank you for the quick reply!! Appreciate you and your site !

The most punk DX I've ever seen. This one won't be seeing an increase in value.

@@F0nkyNinja Yup! :)
