Hello, I want to refurbish also my Satellite. Where dir you get the fader potentiometer from? Or did you clean them and how. Thanks or an advice - Hagen from Germany
There isn't really an answer to this question - it very much depends on exactly what needs doing - and whether you have the skills to do it, or you need to pay someone else to do it. Replacement parts for vintage moogs are increasingly expensive to find. I'm just finishing off a Moog MG-1. The parts alone (new caps + new faders + foam + a couple of IC's) came to about $300. Add another $50-$70 for other cleaning products, e.g. deoxit/isopropyl etc. If you're paying someone to do it, this refurb took me about 8 days of full labour (YMMV - this one was in particularly terrible shape, with a lot of problems). If you're doing it yourself, you're going to need soldering iron, multimeter, and an oscilloscope at a minimum (as well as knowledge of how to diagnose electrical faults). So a repair cost could be super cheap, or it could be painfully expensive. There isn't a general answer, it very much depends on the synth in question, whether its fully working to begin with, and if not, which parts are not working!
I had one of these back in the 1970's and I let go when I went to college. Aargh.
We love ours ☀️
