On top of that, these vintage synths were made as cheaply as possible, so they’re more likely to suffer a copper pad separating from the board. I replaced the full fadersets at around 5 or 8 SH-101s (back when TechTransplant still did sell them) - I never had an issue with the solder pads. Other brands and later Roland synths: yes, but not with the early Roland pcbs. Florian
