#YM1104

2025-05-31

I found this little #Yamaha #PortaSound PS-2 at a flea market for 5€. It even came with a nice carry case and the manual. The main chip is a #YM1104 C. Only thing I had to fix was the volume potentiometer, which was a bit scratchy and worked intermittently. A bit of cleaning and it works again. Maybe possible mods would be USB-C power input, or Li-Ion battery.
