"UH YEAR" REVISITED



Got a friendly message from none other than Mike Walters of Mystery Circuits. He had been tasked with repairing an odd-looking synth that resembled something I would make. Sure enough, it was the heavily modified Yamaha PSS-30 I had built on commission some 8 years ago. I let him know that the keyboard was probably a total mess inside, being that it was one of my earlier mods, and that it would be easier for me to have a go at it since I built it. The owner was OK with it, so he sent it my way. I always love seeing my old creations years later. I sometimes wish i could go back in time and help my former self with advice or some basic knowledge I've learned through experience. Needless to say, the PSS-30 was a total mess that not even I could decipher... the keyboard was still pretty much functional,
