Hey Fellas....

Nice to meet you all. My name is BlacKHawK. I joined your forum because I am hoping one or some of you might help me with some questions about an Opus 3.

I’ve had this little synth for years and years and it’s served me well. A couple of years ago I put it in storage with some other gear while I kind of dropped out for a while. Well, I’m back in the world now and I am setting up my studio again. I discovered that not only did I put my Moog in storage, I also provided a cool little home for a mouse or two. I discovered this after I lost the ‘B’ keys and took the cover off to find the problem. Inside was a huge rat’s nest built on top of one of the circuit boards.

It’s cleaned up now, no more mice. However, there is a lot of corrosion on the circuits, ammonia from mouse piss I’m sure. Amazingly, it still plays, except for the ‘B’ keys. I found the piece that corroded off the board which I believe is responsible for the ‘B’ keys not working. But, why put it back on a corroded board?

I guess that’s the long way around to asking if any of you know where a fella can find salvaged parts for these old synths? I should have just posted the question, but I thought the story made it more interesting.

Thanks for your help,

BlacKHawK
