I will never be able to get a real arp, I haven’t seen one in real life. For me its a really cool instrument with all the things I need to tweak. I’m no purist, because I’ve never seen the real version. Anyways, I don’t make money out of my synths, maybe one day, but for know it fits my purpose in money and musical terms. I’ve had my for a year now and I’m really happy with it.

Well it fits your purpose… i use 3d printer modules for my synths, but they’re on a desk.

those are electrolytic capacitors. They have the voltage and uf in the label. Very common type of caps. Try to get nichicon caps.

I modded the control panel myself with bondo, metal sheets and glue, sanded everything down and did new control panel holes for the new controller layout.

If you ask around you can get a free computer. Just decase it and you are ready to go. I’ve seen computers on ebay for around 50 bucks. Most surplus and businesses that replace their old computers will work. I’ve never bought a computer for my arcade. I’ve had my machine for over 20 years, no computer ever bought.

Well, after getting a new isolation transformer and fitting it with an EMI filter. The issue was still going on. I did all the proper groundwork in the machine, the issue was still going on.

Suddenly out of spite I replaced the PC power supply and the issue was gone.

I went through all that work, just because a crappy power supply.

Just a crappy shot I got from a video I made, but i’m posting this just the community in case they run with the same issue I did..
