Roland Juno 60 Repair (Buttons and Arpeggiator) and some other stuff

In this Video we repair a Roland Juno 60, broken arpeggiator circuit, unresponsive buttons, broken pitch bender and replacing capacitors in the PSU. I go a bit 'around the houses' with repairing a simple issue with the arp clock! We also look at some of the not so hidden features of the Juno 60 and explore some note priority stuff.

All music is original and of course features the Juno!

Thank you so much for your Juno repair guide. I have very little electronics knowledge; but your detailed explanation has given me the confidence to tackle it myself. Very much appreciated. 😃👍🏻👍🏻

The Juno 6/0 is a beautiful beast! Keep up the good work, and keep em coming!

I enjoyed your Juno 60 repair video. I noticed you still had the original patch battery in place. Might want to change that out as a preventative measure. I'm sure it's done it's time.🙂

Very nice soundtrack. The rest I can't follow mostly, but great work anyway.

I got an old Juno for free a few years ago. I'd love to get it fixed up with the Tubbtec mod. I'm interested in that video.

I was wondering if you ever came across a threshold limit with how high the notes can go if you play notes in the top octave, with the octave transpose on "up", and the arpeggiator range on "3"? Mine seems to have a limit as to how high it can go in this reguard, and i was wondering if this was normal? I've just never seen this anomaly mentioned anywhere.

Great video. Any tips on replacing the 3-way Arpeggio Mode switch? Thanks

🙏🧡💚👌☺️on mine, the bender is broken too, it occurs people have done that voluntarly, be ause that way you can rotate it more fast and more easily, and in accessing to the other uttons here. So I will not repair it. My Juno 6 have only the HPF not working and come top slider are missing. The first thin is to unmount and clean the mother board very attentively. Then like you did, service. Board if something is wrong

[dingbatjack]

What it that solder(tip?) called? Can I use a solder sucker to the same effect?

Can you link to what caps you ordered?

[laurencemaddock]

That op amp will not work the other way around, as I expect it uses plus and minus 15v, so reversing it is not a good thing.
