> Be really, really, really CAREFUL.
Yes, I've heard about that. We got the old battery out this afternoon, and
I located and picked up a replacement ('Batteries Plus' in Beaverton, OR).
They have a machine that spot-welds the required tabs (-+) on the battery
(which just broke off in my hand, so I'm going back tomorrow...).
The CR2032 adventure continues...
It's going to be good getting re-acquainted with the SY77; the sequencer
has
a 'Pattern' function (but nothing as nifty-quick as Repeater, EDP...). It
will be good looking at the keys of the synth again, not the circuit board.
Something vastly more human and warm about the keys than a bunch o' wires.
