I have one of these I purchased brand new in the 80's sometime. It's in working condition however a couple of the pot nobs broke. Is there still a desire for these machines?
Nice! Yes, the EPB is quite unexpectedly valuable at the moment. Honestly, I'm not sure why. The pots are hard to find, but the knob caps are still available.
@@mphtower Thanks so much for your response. Would happen to know when I get both the pots, and the knobs? Id love to make this one work completely, and look presentable. Thanks for your time!!
@@mphtower hey man, in case you want to sell or repair this unit, please feel free to get in touch, i'm working on mine i bought "as is" for 400 bux (i'm an audio electronician, or else i would'nt of done it), in fact i came back here before testing it after putting new regulators (there was no -15v out of the 7915, hope it the only provblem, seems like a chip was replaced in the past, the seller got it from a pro studio's ayuction sale in california, so for now i'm pretty confident lol). if you want to sell it (or swap maybe?) i'm interested. If you want to repair it yourself and have a question maybe i'de be happy if i can help. and if you would like to have it repaired (i'm in france though), if you are in europe rather, i might be the person that could do it for you. I bought a few units latyely (simmons epb and sds-9, sci drumtraks...), all having to be refurbish a bit, to study that technology. that means that weather it may be for chatting about the topic, or putting my hands in these, i'm pretty motivated...
Yup! They're all interchangeable from that era including the SDS7. Just remember to flip the EPROM Type switch to the right setting. (Nothing bad happens if you don't, it just might loop one time or play half the sample).
Helpful overview, thanks for posting.
Nice one Michael, cheers , b the sdx man

@@gilbertmoreno8614 I'd get in touch with The Simmons Guy if you're in the US (thesimmonsguy.com/). If you're in Europe, look for Micha Buchner.

Hi great video:) tell me do you know if you can use any sds emprom/chips in a SDS1 - example will a sds9 chip work in a sds1 drum pad?
Thanks
