NOTES
Every charity shop has a home keyboard nobody wants. Many of them hide FM chips related to the ones in arcade boards, so we started collecting them.

Any chance of a parts list? I would love to follow along with the same kit.
Same here. Seems like the whole production run had it.
Manual focus, shutter at 1/30 so it covers a full field.
This takes me straight back to Saturday mornings at my cousin’s house.
Same board revision as mine, and the same two caps had leaked. Must be a batch thing.
This is exactly the write-up I needed before opening mine. Bookmarked.
Rosin flux from a jar, cleaned with isopropyl straight after.
Parts list is going into the next post, promise.
My local repair cafe has a whole shelf of these waiting for volunteers.
Came for the repair, stayed for the tangent about the manual layout.
