VERY IMPORTANT: Please note that the description below is correct, but this batch ‘may need a little modification with a razor / modelling knife to fit better. These are rejects as they are not like thrones at £78. The silk screening and materials / quality is the same, just may need a slight rectification to fit around screen / data / volume / cartridge etc.
When they are gone, they are gone, grab a bargain. Max out by 0.5 mm
Now description as before…
FITTING VIDEO - IMPORTANT - LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY IS LOW, NO TECHNICAL KNOW HOW REQUIRED, BUT IT DOES HAVE VERY IMPORTANT TIPS AND PITFALLS TO AVOID FROM OUR EXPERIENCE:
https://youtu.be/9h2kEjM9Om0
Fitting is easy :
You need insulation tape ( or any tape that’s not too sticky ) this is to hold new panel in place while peeling backing.
Hair Dryer to loosen the old panel and glue residue. ( Didn’t use in the video )
Sticky stuff / Glue remover ( when get going, a ball of residue is great ).
A scraper, soft edged so not to scratch the metalwork.
Damp cloth to wipe panel once stripped. MAKE SURE NO bits left. Also the damp cloth can leave moisture that can help the new panel move slightly if required.
Cup of coffee
Aprox 2 hrs - to do a thorough clean, neat factory look job. Please see also fitting of DX7 panel on Youtube for similar guidance.
Note : This new panel is much more durable that original and slightly thicker. If you try it out over your old panel before fitting, you’ll see everything will work ok, but there will be a difference in the flexibility and travel naturally. So, as you are fitting a new panel to an old synth, there may be several reasons why the buttons ‘still work’ but don’t actually click the same way. For instance, every circuit board will have different degrees of flex, wrong screws in it from past owners, possible different switches, board thickness changed throughout production etc. Please don’t despair - If this happens, simply add nylon washers to the board to step the buttons a few microns away ( 0.2mm - 0.3 mm etc ). We have had many cases when this is just not needed and some do.
Please read:
This replica panel, and any logo or designs used to create an authentic looking product, is in no way trying to claim any affiliation with the original manufacturer.
This panel is not OEM part, but passionately and accurately recreated resulting in a very high quality replacement. Colours matched as close as possible using actual DX7 MK I.
This is a full membrane cover, not an overlay. It replaces your current panel after removal.
Comes with self-peel sticky backing that is precision cut so that no glue is where the buttons are on your synth.
