Syntaur Keyboard Parts

A note about Syntaur Productions “out of stock” Synth Parts. – Syntaur does not update their website regularly. This has caused a lot of problems and therefore I can’t recommend Syntaur as a reliable resource for synth parts. I do suggest that you email them first and even call after that taking names of course. Twice they didn’t have the part I needed but it was listed as in stock on their website. Furthermore I have received quite a few emails from other potential customers saying they had similar experiences. Syntaur’s website is not accurate. Buyer beware when purchasing from Syntaur.

The place that keeps your retro machine going!! I am MECH, and this is my personal shopping cart setup to help people needing reasonable deals on retro equipment. I have set this up to try and avoid the insane EBAY fee’s and hopefully pass along cheaper deals to the users. My specialty is AMIGA! but many of the SCSI items I have here will work on everything from Apple, Atari, Mac, Sun, Sgi, Texas Instruments, Trs-80, X68000 as well as your older classic samplers like Akia, E-MU, Roland, Kurzwell, Yamaha.

Allen Coppock is the master when it comes to Roland Juno 106 repair. He has repaired two of my Juno 106 synths and they are 100% flawless. Highly recommended!!!
I’ll post more as I discover them.
Have you ever purchased from Syntaur? If so, what was your experience? (Obviously when there was stock)
Hello Michael,
I’ve tried ordering from Syntaur in the past a couple of times, but they keep coming up with parts out of stock. In all fairness, I have heard good experiences from other buyers, but I haven’t been that successful with them. If I really needed a part in the future, I likely would try again if it was the only place to purchase.
Thanks!, Jim
Syntaur are pleasant to deal with – even if their website is not up to date. Just email them and ask them before buying, as you suggest. They are decent people.
