You don't see many piano hinges on consumer devices anymore but these are quite specialised high price instruments. It's probably the best new synth on the market.

I see he references Dave in the Wersi organ repair vid.

I enjoyed that, thanks.

I see he mentioned the jellybean parts Dave always talks about :)

I couldn't stop thinking how that nice organ was full of salvageable parts if you where to find one that was completely beyond repair.
Of course you wouldn't want to salvage parts if it was fixable, those look like great instruments.

Actually, Dave Smith is the guy who made the synth, not the guy on the video but it would be funny if he WAS named Dave too :).
Dave Smith is a legendary guy and pretty much is responsible for how the MIDI standard ended up.

MKS-30
MKS-50
U-220
TR-707
MC-500
SBX-80
SH-1000 (basket case)

E-MU:
Emulator II (currently in pieces. Won't boot)

Oberheim:
DPX1

Yamaha:
DX7

OOOoooh! That's some interesting stuff.

The TR-707 and TX81Z would be nice to have.
I now everyone loves analog stuff at the moment and the Juno6 would be amazing to own but a JP-8080 would be more interesting to me.

I'm off work next week. Should have plenty of time to dig out the camera and do some teardowns.

Ooh... Do it!
The 707 should be interesting.
