\nIncludes rust removal, flux removal, dust, etc.<\/li>\n
\nThis includes all types of components where they’ve cracked or been bent to the point of lead fatigue.<\/li>\n
\nElectrolytic caps, also known as “wet caps” are made with a moist paste inside.\u00a0Over the years, this paste can dry up or corrode the internal conductors of the cap. \u00a0Caps of this type generally have a 15-25 year lifespan.\u00a0We replace all wet caps during restoration.<\/li>\n
\nMost carbon resistors on vintage synths are 35 to 50 years old. Their age causes them to lose value. We test all carbon resistors as a matter of course. All carbon AND metal resistors that are out of the 5% tolerance range will be replaced. We will also replace any metal film resistors that are not<\/li>\n
\nA very common source of problems are cracked or cracking solder joints.
\nWe closely inspect every connection on every board, re-soldering as needed.<\/li>\n\n
