Restoration of a Drum Machine used by a-ha - Prince - Vangelis | Retro Repair Guy Episode 24
The Retro Repair Guy performs a complete teardown and restoration of a Drum Machine that helped shape the 80s sound. The Yamaha RX5 is a model that was used by a-ha, Prince, Vangelis and more. For this restoration, I recapped the boards and cleaned it all up. This old drum machine is now ready to make some retro music.
