Title: EII with case fan Post by: Dimensional Space on June 14, 2011, 08:20:56 AM 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.

My Synthex has a fan and I hate it, noisy as hell. I'd take it out if I thought I could... Title: Re: EII with case fan Post by: Dimensional Space on June 15, 2011, 02:52:14 PM 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. Title: Re: EII with case fan Post by: JMP on June 15, 2011, 03:57:48 PM Why put it in? Because the power supply is the weakest link with the EII. That's why. Wow, what a shirty response... :-\ 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.... Quote It's working and that's all I care about. Er... OK, wasn't meaning to piss on your bonfire... Glad it works, quietly too. ::) |
