    I'm following this thread.  I've got a CS-3 that needs looking at as well.

    Sadly I’m not doing repair work any more - I had a drastic change of job and I don’t really have the time now.

    Still always happy to advise if I can :).

    I used Martin Owen aka Owen Electronics to get a couple of pedals fixed. It was a few years ago but think he's still around. He did a good job and although my memory is sketchy, I think the cost was fair. Not sure how you contact him though.

    ok thanks for the suggestions
    the basic jist with the fault is a very crackly hi/low switch but that wasn't too much of an issue if I didn't mess with it much. Lately it just seems to have no effect come through it, cannot detect any changes in tone when engaged so not sure what's gone on!

    I stick my head around the door every now and if I'm @'ed I get a notification. But we've flipped to vintage electronics/computers and we're kinda busy with that.

    My CE-1 has developed a fault, constant noise when when on. It’s not unbearable but considerably more than it used to have, i.e. it’s not how it should be.

    Someone else has also recommended Sound Gas to me. I see Hamstead also do a repair service.

    @markab I’d be interested to know how you get on.

    That’s a shame. Maybe people/companies that repair and service vintage synths will be able to help. I’ll let you know if I have any luck too.

    Here is a link to info about Hamstead’s repair service:
