SERVICE MANUALS & SCHEMATICS
for vintage electronic musical instruments LATEST ADDITIONS February 23 Elka Wilgamat I - Schematics Finally finished bringing it up to the quality level I prefer for this site, replacing the preliminary upload. Went a bit too far, ending up with redrawing about 95 percent of it. Sorry, not going to repeat that for the whole stack of Elka manuals, because that would take the rest of the year, blocking other important documents. December 21 Waldorf Microwave - OS Upgrade 2.0 data December 18 Steim Crackle-Box (Kraakdoos) - Schematic & Etch-board Layouts ATTENTION! For all Facebook friends, following my Synfo page...my account will be blocked and disappear. Facebook tries to bully me into uploading a portrait video, showing my face from all sides, creating a file with high value for data traders. Such data can be used for educating AI, incorporation in face recognition software and ultimately for government control. No video? Account removed! That's too bad, but I will NOT comply. I don't know if this will be the standard FB requirement in the future or if this is a reaction on my opinion about Trump and Zuckerberg, identifying me as a social media terrorist. So I'll be looking for another social surrounding to keep people informed about whatever is happening here and what's added. BlueSky? Discord? Something else? Got to see what they are like (when time allows) but advise is welcome. Of course I can still be reached at info@synfo.nl |
