Great job! I learn so much from your videos. Been looking forward to part two and what a treat it was!

[@Doctormix]

I LOVE your channel

[@FOCtv]

Wow! That is beautiful!

[@andyjackson3891]

What a wonderful series of videos - thank you for your time and effort in sharing! I am going through the same process, on and off for a while now, with an OB-Xa, so looking forward to the next video, to see what issues you come across. See you soon...

[@isoldeisobelle552]

Excellent! I hope that we get to hear you play this beautiful instrument at the end of the series.

[@arnoriva]

Fantastic!! I Will do the same to my OB-xa. Thank you very much for sharing this.

[@ManfredVeber]

Brillant, well-explained video ! Thanks !

[@francescogoldoni7718]

Couldn’t wait anymore for this!

[@GOLTSYNTH]

Francesco Goldoni I’m so sorry! This year was difficult. I am also planning a series of videos where I just explain how synth circuits work and they should be a lot quicker and easier to produce. I will continue with this series as well, hopefully I am quicker to release videos from now on.

Awesome! Gave an audible 'woah' when I got the notification :)

[@mopesca]

Yea! Was really looking forward for this video!

[@ViddyWellyWellyWell]

Hey, any chance you know where to find replacement bus bar segments for these keyboards?

[@DestroyER82]

Finally part II ! ;-)

[@khachaturtumasyan3365]

Hello, I have an Oberheim Ob8. I need the Oberheim Ob8 ribbon cables from the processor board. Can you help me find it? thank you.

[@sebastiaandonga7678]

Yes!

[@RonnieAugeri]

Great video! Have you ever noticed the differences in decals across the OB-X? The majority of them seem to have the oberheim logo on the right hand side above the last octave, but yours and one other I've seen on youtube has just an "ob x" decal there. The majority say OBX on the top left of the keyboard, I've seen one with a big oberheim logo on the top as well. Wonder if yours is an early model? upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/78/Oberheim_OB-X.jpg

Pretty cool. What is the type of grease on the bushings? The ones I get are dry.

[@GOLTSYNTH]

Scott Rogers the lube is GC Electronics part # 10-8101, Type Z5 Silicone Compound. Should be available from element14 / Farnell / Newark, or eBay.

@@GOLTSYNTH Thanks very much!

[@cornerliston]

Hey Golt! How come the Pratt Read keybed has such problem with keys becoming un-leveled? Is there any of these keybeds that do not have that issue?

[@GOLTSYNTH]

corner liston As far as I know, most if not all Pratt Read keybeds used in synths have that issue. The posts that are used for the key stops aren’t very strong. It was a design fault.

[@cornerliston]

@@GOLTSYNTH Oh right! the key stop posts! Well, good they don't fall off completely at the least : ) Looking forward watching part 3.

[@cornerliston]

That's a shit load of killed elephants.

[@oids3104]

Hey man, awesome video. Question for you: I recently got an OB-X and the LEDs seem to have a shimmering, almost blinking quality to them. The synth completely works 100% except that the LEDs have this slight issue. Are your LEDs nice and steady or do they blink a bit? Here’s a video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5bFZnawbNWWg5Y
