If you need to remove and/or install momory cards on your AKAI S1000, here's the procedure (it's really simple!)

I recently found a Yamaha RM1-X on Facebook Marketplace, the guy selling it said that the display was gone, everything was working but it was almost impossible to see anything on the screen, as you can see in the above picture. It was only barely visible if viewed at an angle. I took it home for 90 euros thinking "maybe it is just a quick fix, like I have seen in this youtube video".

I recenlty got a Yamaha A3000 and I wanted to install a SCSI Hard Drive in it. Since I had a 68-pin SCSI Drive I decided t use this, but since the Yamaha has an internal 50-pin connector, I had to buy a 50 to 68 pin converter on Amazon.

Also, I didn't have the original power supply connector for the Hard Disk, that was supplied when the A3000 came out. You can find them on ebay or similar, but usually at about 20 euros/dollars apiece, so I decided to do it my way

I recently found this "broken" Roland GAIA SH-01 on a local Facebook Groups.
The seller reported the Synth as "broken", with no sound coming out of it and only some noise on the outputs. I tested the unit and everything else was apparently working, all buttons worked, all leds were ok and so on...I suspected a problem with the DAC or with the amplification stage of the synth, but took it home anyway presaging a very quick fix.
