Local elderly repairman’s business suddenly booming fixing ‘machinedrums’. More at 11.

He said it was impossible to get the boards back into the machine without constructing a little gizmo himself to push the pins in - he cracked output F and apologised saying it was the ‘best he could do’ - I haven’t tested the individual outputs but the headphones out is working perfectly

so glad you got it working again! “random elderly electronics repair man” really brings up some memories for me. back in the 80’s when people still repaired home electronics instead of just throwing them out, I would go with my father to take broken stereos and TV’s and such to a person like this. so that’s what I’m imagining, and thinking of a fellow who has no idea wtf a Machinedrum or drum machine is or does and is just tracing circuits trying to get it to work (even if he has no idea what that means), while of course also swearing at it

That’s exactly it!
His front porch was stacked with old tvs, stereos and vhs players, he had no clue about elektron he just took it apart resoldered everything and put it back together

oh man that’s so awesome! that’s exactly the sort of thing I remember from those trips. I feel like I would spend at least an extra hour chatting with such a person these days.
He just added some extra character, value and a good story

Yup we stood on his driveway and chatted a good while before I headed home - a very nice person and a properly trained electronics engineer
