keyboards 2

Got one of these working at last. Some re-wiring, a good scrub, remove some of the mods and a bit of guesswork.

 I can only assume this isn't how it left the factory. The rest of the Arp is beautifully wired, but this is shit.

 slightly less shit

 I assume this is an external input jack, it had been rewired so turning the switch connected +15V to ground. Decided it was not a useful mod and removed it. If anybody is able to supply photos or a schematic showing how this is connected, please comment.

 Again I don't know if this is standard or mods.

 This is the side panel on one keyboard. The pot and switch are not connected to anything. The other pot & circuit put a voltage onto the external jack, but are not connected to the keyboard other than sharing power supply. It seems unfinished or half-baked, bit of a theme with this synth.

Power connections rewired and heatshrinked.

So these didn't work. Testing showed +9 to +15V on the -12V rail......yuck.
Inside was a bit hairy, with some interesting mods. One panel was obviously DIY, the extra output connectors are a complete mystery. The wiring and soldering is quite poorly done, really not up to the standard of the modules. There is so little info available on the keyboards.

 Doesn't really look stock, feel free to correct me. These are on both keyboards but only wired up on one.

 Arp for lunch

 the red & black wires go to the external input socket

 Pretty shitty job on these sub-modules

A nice short circuit between the +V and -V rails, took a while to find. Obviously a wire brush and a rewire are on the cards.

Just letting this sit for a while
