Sequential Circuits Prophet V Repair Part 1

[Geeljasjes]

Is the procedure somewhat the same for the Minimoog?

As far as replacing bushings, yes. The Minimoog (as do many other synths of that era) uses the same Pratt & Read type keyboard. The removal of the keyboard from the synth, in order to work on it, will be different of course.

I have just replaced the bushings on the Mini and it's way easier than doing a P5. The Prophet uses the same bushings, but it's those damn contact pins that bend.

In this video it doesn't show you that you have to be carefull taking off those rubber caps holding the tone-bar pins. Once they kink it will take you quite some time to straighten them out gain.

Restoring the keys on the Minimoog is a piece of piss (easy).

The keyboard is smaller too, so that makes a huge difference.

Excellent tutorial ... well done! This is a great help for working on these vintage keyboards.
