Roland S-50 - Recapping the power board - Restoration Part 9

After making my mind up I wasn't going to re-capp the power board on the Roland S-50 sampler. I decided to just get on with it after I found a supply of the correct caps now to be available. This is how I undertook this task. Background I acquired the Roland S-50 a few years ago after I had been on the hunt for a low-fi sampler. This fitted the bill sampling at 12-bits. Not only is the Roland S-50 a fairly useable sampler, Roland and many other software / sampling vendors also crafted sample sets for both this and the Roland S-550 / Roland S-330 platforms. When acquired there were a few problems. Apart from the sampler being filthy, some keys either did't work or work intermittently and the screen randomly choose not to work. What I didn't know when I started this project was how involved it would get!
