System beeps

Automated messages when a panel opens

Perhaps warning that this machine was not made to be user serviceable please contact your local authorized technician

Before being lovingly maintained by a caring, very much not authorized partner

Long out of warranty after all
Are there even any authorized technicians around? Any that would work on such an

Outdated
(Not obsolete, they don't like that term)

Thing
Like them?

giving the synthetic a kiss, holding its hand
reaching inside their chest, caressing one of those internal surfaces

finding that switch, that one, that cuts off power. Looking into their faceplate. Are those eyes actually the cameras, the optics? Or just a decoration to make others feel

comfortable

and flicking it
ready to work, to make them better. Is it a repair? Is it an upgrade?

Is it just for the joy of working on them? On it?

either way, it is a project worth undertaking

in reply to @Loosf's post:

I sometimes think about how one of the retro systems I bought off of Craigslist was from someone who found it as it was basically on its way to the dump, recovered it, and got it in working order

I'm just imagining something like that in combination with this now. A synth that was perhaps one of the most advanced and powerful of its time, although has long been surpassed by smaller, faster, newer models, being brought back to its former glory

Loved and cared for, not by some employee who needs specific things done ASAP so their company makes product (and, by extension, money), but instead by someone who's just passionate about tech, and wants to see them at the level they were capable of at their time, no matter how much effort it takes to bring them there.

...anyways, i'd totally restore and maintain a synth like that tbh
