sometimes you pick up broken gear and it takes ages to diagnose and repair…sometimes you open it up to discover a single dime shorting out the audio signal 😂
This Yamah P-95 digital piano is now fully-functional!

Finally finished replacing the screen on this Boss DR 202! The old screen was faded and barely legible, and didn’t come with a factory backlight.
Was one of the hardest mods I have ever done. So many complicated/cumbersome parts to remove and reinstall, there is no room for error.

put together a converted payphone handset lofi microphone - wired so both the mouth and earpiece can be used at once - original metal cable is awesome but required a jumbo 1/4” plug #lofi #payphone #microphone #circuitbending
