Re: Akai S01 sampler limited failure

Does anyone know or have the data for the transistors C63 18 004 or the FEC 2202 K904 or replacements for them? These are in the switching power supply of my Akai S1000

I've enjoyed my S01 since the early 90s, and it was still working well up until a few months ago. It was in a rack in a heated room and suffered no shocks. Powered up, floppy confirmed, channel lights lit, digital display on, data knob responsive, but the edit contol subpanel remained dark & unresponsive. Everything in the box appears good. No capacitor leakage. Has anyone been here before? I could use a/some guidance. Obliged 🙏...

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Greetings. I'm an old timer in Cleveland Ohio who has accumulated much equipment over the decades most of which need repairs. I'm striving to teach myself enough electronics to be able to diagnose and repair things. I refer to samplers, recording decks, amplifiers, DAT, etc. As a newbi to electronics, I will be asking more than answering. I registered today in the hope of finding scematics for Akai samplers, in particular, my recently failed S01. I also hope to find schematics for my Fostex 380S.
