I picked up another working EII recently with a case fan mod.   Anyone interested in seeing the mod?  I can post pics.  It's not quite the EIII fan but it seems to keep this thing alive.  There is no cutting out the back of the case which is nice.

Why would someone fit a fan (only to give background noise) when the machine can operate OK without it?

My Synthex has a fan and I hate it, noisy as hell. I'd take it out if I thought I could...

There is no additional noise going on with mine.  No machine noise or line noise on the outputs.
Why put it in?  Because the power supply is the weakest link with the EII.   That's why.
It's working and that's all I care about.  I think there are more busted EII's out there verses working ones with the units left in existence.

Wow, what a shirty response...  Undecided Makes sense, I recall the original UK EII's PSU's were cheap but any vintage synth/sampler from the 80's should have the PSU overhauled. It's often the first thing to go in any vintage machine, well in my experience anyway....

Er... OK, wasn't meaning to piss on your bonfire... Glad it works, quietly too.  Roll Eyes
