The PAiA arrives from California... Initial system: 2 4700 cases, 1 custom case with 2x 4780 sequencers and PSU/midi/cv converter. System is in initial state of restoration but nothing other modules organized into place is complete. |
||
 |
 |
 |
 |
||
And thus the restoration begins... Over 100 hours spent, repairing, calibrating and modifying the circitry so that better quality sound is achieve. Such as replacing audio capacitors with new high quality, shielding, 10 turn pots on the VCOs, etc. |

| This revision of the PAiA is complete and the synth is ready to be used... | ||

 |
 |
| Soon after, more 4700's are added... | ||
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
And then even more... However, this entire system is not quite usable as the left tower of 4700's are in need of repair and restoration. But the right tower is ready to go. The decision was to sell the ones on the left as a system like this is much too large for my needs. I am only going to keep the 3 4700 cases on the lower right. The rest have been assessed and are for sale. |
