REALLY awesome! I have 3 of those to repair, as well as 2 Expanders. And one extra Expander that works well (my reference). So this is really helpful to me. Thank you so much for sharing! Hope you get her fixed! Will let you know if I can find some replacement switches somehow.
Nice progress there! I’m also working on an Opera 6 that was in very similar conditions to yours 💀. Out of curiosity, where did you manage to find the replacement keys?
It's bette than I had hoped. Even the sysex loaded. I just need to properly calibrate it and clean the keyboard. The cosmetic stuff and the switch are the outstanding issues
I'm doing a JX-8P atm the moment. Cosmetically it looks not dissimilar to the Siel here, but thankfully the internals turned out to be rather excellent, as the "no sound at all" described in the ad was simply the 8P's usual LMH switch acting up. Just be thankful you have all the panels - mine is missing the lower RHS panel beneath the pitch bend assembly and I'm not sure at all how to replace it. Any suggestions would me MOST welcome... 🙂

hi - thanks very much. Yes they are an amazing synth. Up there with my Prophet 5 for sure

nice find and a very nice synth IMO. I wonder if anyone has a spare panel, you could maybe check on the synth repair FaceBook page
still after a top panel switch if anyone's got a spare
