I've been working on a personal project for the last few months, restoring a vintage analog synthesizer from the late 70s, and I finally got it fully operational last weekend after tracking down a replacement for a faulty oscillator chip. The process taught me so much about circuit design and the history of electronic music, and I'm really proud of how it turned out, both sonically and aesthetically. I thought this member showcase would be a good place to share the result, so I've included a few photos of the internal rebuild and a short audio clip of a patch I created. I'd love to hear from others who work with hardware or have tackled similar restoration projects, and I'm happy to share any of the resources I found helpful along the way.
