Problems with Oberheim

["hefi" <hefi@go2.pl>]

    Hi,                                                                                                                                                                        

During my very important last concert, my EDP emited an appaling crack! After few minutes of using four loops, when I was using the loop nr one, on the unit's dysplay there was showed "0" and all loops desappeard. It was completely hopeless-pressing all buttons  on my footpedal and main unit, there was no respond and the display still showed "0" .Only after reswitched " on and off"  devce stearted to work . 

For some time, and recently even always, the loops I recorded are accompanying with  very loud noise ( such like digital rubbish) . Especialy third and fourth  loop and recently even second one  are full of these noises.   

 Kim Flint recomended to clean the connections up or remove the Simms. 

  After Kim's advice I cleaned the conectoins but the problem (noises) still existed. When I replaced the Simms problem disappeared but only for some time.I tried various combinations of Simms to find out which one is bad, unfortunately the noises appear at all Simms (even at these original from Oberheim - 4x1MG). The third "red"display the bottom line of the digit eight does not light. May it have some connection with these noises or it means that something else does not work propely.

 Pleas help me !  Has anyone else ever got the similar problem .
