Got an original Odyssey (2813) that will be restored (by a pro like you) and found it fascinating to get some idea of what will be involved. You're incredibly thorough and methodical. I was going to ask - how does the Odyssey assign the two notes to the oscillators for the duophony?
this video is amazing and very informative. I have a mark 1 black odyssey, and it seems to have crapped out. Been stored for like 15 years. Power light on but totally silent. I really want to fix it but know nothing about electronic circuitry. Where do I get all the little capacitors and transistors and such and how do I know what type its using? and Id buy your slider kit but how to I replace them exactly? maybe too many questions but essentially i would love a more "repair for dummies" tutorial if possible. Or conversely I would be interested if you would do this sort of thing for me and what it would cost.
yet another fantastic video :) I have been planning to take my odyssey apart and clean all the sliders for several months now because they've virtually seized up altogether, I just haven't had the heart because it's clearly a massive time burglar! I'll be buying the set from you.
Synthchaser: thank you for the great instruction. I'm planning on tearing down my blackface Mk II, and cleaning its boards, keys, and sliders. I have opened it up, but I'm unsure of how to take the boards and keyboard out of the instrument. Can you please offer instruction on this? Thank you again.
Just in the process of rebuilding my Oddy. Seems like the resistor on the back of the power switch has burned out. The switch works fine but doesn't light up, do you know a source for replacements or do you know what value resistor would be suitable as a replacement? Thanks for your super informative videos btw!
Great job! How do you calibrate the octacve switch? I have to reutne my oscillators slightly when I shift the octave switch up or down on my original mark III. Thanks for an answer.
There's a trimmer on board A (the one with the transpose switch), R23 that you can adjust to get the transpose switch to transpose it exactly 2 octaves.
Nope. Someone sells them on eBay, but maybe someone with a good 3D printer can figure it out. I've just made an LED slider kit for the Odyssey, so I won't need slider caps anymore.
@@johnholmes5816 I used Super Lube synthetic grease on those little caps. Usually just contact cleaner will help the switches. Sometimes I'll need to disassemble them and clean them, other times I'll have to replace them entirely.

"But!", he pouted, "I LIKE the cheesy music!" It's giggly fun!

3:00 So let's turn it on nOOOOOOOOOOOooooooOOOUuuuuuuuuOOO

@@Synthchaser thank you, thank you! Sorry, can this be accessed by that hole in the front panel next to the transpose switch? (last question)
@@Synthchaser Thank you so very, very much...Been in there with a jeweller's screwdriver and the octave tunings are sweet as a nut now!
Excellent, good work!
Nice video. Just curious did you ever found the source for the slider caps for the rev3 Oddy? I jus't can't seem to find any.

@Synthchaser I get slider caps on the LEDs would look wicked
Working on my odyssey 2800 now. It seems to be that the LFO is always slightly modulating the VCO’s. Any idea before I go spend ages looking?
Dirty slider?
what was that lubricant you applied to the plastic key caps?
and how did you clean the switches?
