DuB-EnG: Yamaha Portasound PSS-50 Synthesizer Keyboard Teardown Repair and Review

I saw Yamaha and thought yes he is doing a motorbike lol still good tho

Nice playing Howard

Wow we are off back to the 90's and beyond.

nice video! thanks for sharing! keep it up! stay in touch with you!

You rock my friend!

Great save 👍

Can it take batteries?

I just dug one of these up in my grandparents basement! Everything seems to be working alright except that I can’t seem to change the voice select, any idea how I could fix this problem?

Great Work! I have a question for ya if you please help me? I have the same keyboard, but when I press any key it makes a hissing sound that is irritating, how can I fix that so that I get a pure sound only without the hiss?

I had this keyboard as a kid ! Yet I couldn't find the exact same model oj eBay. Im glad to be coming across this video now

I just bought one, I’m learning how to play it, just a question. I tried different aux cables but I can’t get it to work, the port seems to big to be 3.5 mm. Is it mine missing something or is it a different size port?

Thanks in advance.

You seem to be quite a wizard in terms of repairing and innovating ideas. I have a Yamaha Portasound PSS 560 synthesizer. It's 35 yrs old and been working flawlessly till a couple of months back. I couldn't play it since I was out of station. I returned last Monday, when I switched it on, I found it working nice but volume has become very feeble. I know how to use multimeter a bit. If you can suggest me, how to start primary checking, I'll remain grateful to you forgood. Defacto, I can't find any trustworthy service provider. Awaiting your suggestion. Thanks. 💕🙏🏽🇮🇳

Nice video ! I have the PSS-190 which is very similar and it also misses the power swich knob. Could you share your 3d printing file please? Thank you.

I have one of these around here without opening it and I didn't see anything scary but it doesn't turn on and there's no sound what could it be?

I bought a used one from a thrift store. It has a constant static hissing or buzzing sound coming from the speaker when it is turned on. I thought it was the speaker but Eleven when using headphones the static hissing noise can be head through them. Do you by any chance know what could be wrong with it?

I've got one of these, and I can't tell if the ambient speaker buzz is just how unshielded they used to make electronics back then, or a short along the line somewhere unfortunately. Otherwise it seems pretty cherry.

Tengo uno pero dos teclas no funcionan... Se puede reparar??

Ganhei um desse modelo da minha mãe, irei comprar as baterias pra ver se ainda funciona
