@subetha I did something like that to my two #SY77. In one, I replaced the backlight, in the other, I replaced the display with a more modern LCD with LED backlight. I sold the one with the EL backlight for twice as much as what I paid, and kept the one with the newer display.

Not a viable business, though, since I also replaced all the buttons on the front panel. 280 solder points de- and re-soldered.😉

EDIT: correction: not OLED, but LCD with LED backlight.

@crucialmazda Klingt interessant. Ich mache nicht so viel eigenes, aber bastle gern mit dem #DX7 und #SY77 an Sounds herum. Spiele sonst in der Band (vorzugsweise akustisches) Klavier und eher zahme Pads und ab und zu Hammonds oder Leads.

Während der Lockdowns war ich regelmäßig mit #Jamkazam in internationalen Jam-Sessions, aber danach nicht mehr.

@alinanorakari There's a reason I bought not one, but two #SY77 in 2023. Almost(*) all the #FM bells & whistles, great keybed, some breathy samples if you need them, and dirt cheap.

* there are some things a #DX7 II can do, that the SY struggles with, so I keep one of those around, too.
