I've fried a couple of yamahas until I figured this out. As for IC12,13,& 14 there are other bends on these chips, just nothing spectacular. Event with some bending, the RX-15 is still pretty limited. Good luck.anode8https://www.blogger.com/profile/17823686363205539209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679150229190816255.post-83843282981713828012012-08-16T19:55:05.084-07:002012-08-16T19:55:05.084-07:00nice, thanks for the documentation. found one thes...nice, thanks for the documentation. found one these units at the market for 10 and since im not proud of my track record of permabending some yamahas im weary of wondering off course but curiosity permabends yamahas mwhahah so thought to ask, do all the top outer pins on IC10 cause results other than permabent? also, around IC15 there are 3 other identical looking IC12,13,14 in a bank/row you think these are also sound rom chips with others bends there? excited about getting home to make this a useable piece of kit.permabenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11480709518792848109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679150229190816255.post-57018741734132867422012-05-07T20:19:19.019-07:002012-05-07T20:19:19.019-07:00To safely bend or modify a device that uses a cord...To safely bend or modify a device that uses a cord, you have to be aware of where the power supply circuit on the machine is. For a device like the RX-15, you can locate the transformer and use a multimeter to make sure you are on the low voltage side. On most items that use a wall wart power supply, you are already operating at less than 15 volts. Again, just stay away from the power supply components, or use this as an opportunity to learn more about circuit design, voltage dividers, etc.anode8https://www.blogger.com/profile/17823686363205539209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679150229190816255.post-51880976548043748922012-05-07T15:25:35.502-07:002012-05-07T15:25:35.502-07:00Quick question.

How can I safely bend something like this and other drum machines/keyboards that have a power cord without electrocuting myself?Commodore Crushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14124464654770016589noreply@blogger.com
