Roland Juno 106

So I just bought one.

The sound is so great on it. Its like electric hugs with every note I play. lol

It has 1 fried oscillator, which I can pretty easily replace with a replicated chip made by this guy in Berlin.

The thing to understand and accept with Juno 106's, is that while they are one of the most legendary analog synthesizers, they also have a huge manufacturing flaw. That being, that it has 6 flawed oscillator chips which WILL burn out eventually. So, if you buy one, and its got all original oscillator chips in it, don't expect it to last. Be prepared to buy a replacement chip and do some soldering.

Regardless, I love this thing and I look forward to repairing and restoring it so this way I can have it in my life for a long time.
