About

Techsmechs Vintage Synth is based in Hudiksvall, Sweden. We make techy mechy stuff for old synths, like keyboard replacement kits for Pro-One and Prophet-600, MemoryMoog, and Oberheim OB-8, OB-Xa and OB-X. We also make new aluminum knob caps for the old Prophet synthesizers (including Prophet T8), a PSU repelacemnt for Prophet-5 and new wooden sides and screws for the Pro-One.

It all started when I bought a Prophet-5 that had very very scratchy knob caps, which someone had attempted to "fix" with black paint. Ouch. I quickly realized that these knobs were almost unobtanium, no way I could get hold of 26 nice looking ones. I noticed that the black plastic part looked ok, it's the aluminum cap that gets scratchy and ugly. So I got the idea to have these remade. Around the same time I got a Pro-One with the horrible membrane keyboard, and followed some online instructions on how to fit a Fatar instead..I figured other people would be interested in this, if it was a simple install... and here we are, many years later!

My main job is at www.xlnaudio.com, where I design music software like Addictive Drums, Addictive Keys, XO, Life, RC-20 Retro Color and other fun things.

Hope you find something useful here :)
