Oxford Synthesiser Company OSCar battery replacement.
[gallery link="file"]
As some of you may know, the OSCar synths are prone to battery leakage. So it was time to take the OSCar out of the studio and give it a little preventative care. After opening it up, removing the battery and disassembling it, it was clear that it was in the early stages of leakage. Good job I took a look at it really. Finding an exact replacement is impossible, so I opted for finding a replacement with an equivalent rating. Then it was just a matter of fitting and putting the OSCar back together. Reassembly was quite a task. While it’s a desirable bit of kit, the build quality is less than desirable. It seems the designers didn’t take servicing into account when coming up with the case design. Oh well, with a lot of patience I managed to put it back together and give it a quick test.
