Today I replaced the empty battery of my vintage #Roland #Juno106 #Synthesizer.
An empty battery in this old unit results in complete amnesia of all sound presets. (Unlike the #Ensoniq #ESQ1, that – at least with later firmwares – comes up with the factory presets in such an event, and then continues having dementia…)
The first time I had done so, I had installed a battery holder to make things easier. The original battery is soldered into the board.
Always fun is to restore the backup via the #tapeInterface with that #datassette sound.
I really love how the Juno 106 is constructed. Easy access if you know those 6 screws… it's a pretty well-made, all-solid device.
Today's Roland (and BOSS) gear feels like cheap plastic toys compared to this. I guess you have to go for an expensive #Sequential synth today if you want this quality.
The Juno 106 synthesizers were made from 1984 to 1988. My dad had bought this unit brand new when I was a kid.

Hoje não temos caminhão de lixo passando, temos apenas alguns links interessantes para vocês lerem e se divertirem - ou não. Falamos há alguns dias sobre a descoberta do UNIX v4 numa fita de 9 mm perdida na Universidade de Utah. Mas você sabia que no início de 2025, encontraram uma versão beta, de 1972
Tech used to be so beautiful 
It's not difficult to spot 
Datassette in good shape, though, black one is much more exotic find
