Synhouse has customers in 42 countries.
Synhouse ships to your country and has since before eBay existed.
If you are looking at a small/normal item in the Synhouse eBay listings
and seeing no shipping options to your area or seeing a notice that
says the seller doesn't ship to your address, this is incorrect. I've
been shipping to Australia, England, etc. since 1990, five years before
eBay even existed, and eBay has deleted ALL the shipping options and
prices I've spent many hours setting up, in order to enable eBay
International Shipping, and then tells people in the most commonly
shipped to countries that shipping is not available there. This is fake
and idiotic; eBay had already been shipping there with the eBay Global
Shipping Program for a few years, now says they don't with eBay
International Shipping AND deleted my own shipping options without my
permission or knowledge, when it could have and should have been left
in place as an option because at least it WORKS and eBay doesn't know
what they are doing.
This goes WAY back to 2017 with people in New Zealand (one of the most
commonly shipped to Synhouse countries) telling me that I don't ship
there, and 1) multiple calls to eBay didn't solve it, 2) they sometimes
said they solved it but didn't, and 3) said "Uhm, wait 24 hours and it
will be working.", which is how eBay gets you off the phone. And I
could never get that New Zealand problem solved. The new problem since
early 2023 is eBay deleting my own shipping options in order to put
theirs in, then theirs tells people no, the seller doesn't ship there,
but I CAN manually set up a shipping method (usually with Synhouse it's
one price each for USA, Canada, Asia/Australia, and the rest of the
world.
Now I'm getting messages like these:
5/16/2023: Hi, Wondering how much shipping would be to Canada, postal
code T2N 2P7. Thanks!
Can you enable the ebay international shipping option for me? I am very
interested.
1/1/2024: Hi there can you post to London uk and how much would postage
be?
Hi how much would postage be to London England
Thanks for your reply. Im trying to check out but im get the message
saying seller doesn't ship to your address. Please advise as i really
need the new faceplate.
1/30/2024: Hello synhouse, I have a T8 and would like to buy your
Optical-Emitter-Set just to make sure to have it in the future. Is
there a reason you don't ship to Germany?
If you see that any small/normal Synhouse item does not ship to
you/your area, this is FAKE and wrong, please send an eBay message to
tell me and I can manually enter shipping to your area AGAIN.
Sorry for this incompetent platform I've been struggling with for 25
years now...

For sale in this listing is a complete brand new replacement AC wiring
harness for the E-mu SP1200 90s black reissue, including the
oft-missing switch cap and two screws. No soldering is required to
replace it, as it comes fully factory soldered and connects by
connector and screws (included).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have separate listings for 1) $14 for the AC switch cap only, 2) $19
for the AC switch only, and what you see here in this listing 3) $48
the full wiring harness (which includes #1 and #2 and a lot more).
If you need one of those and don't see it listed here anymore, send an
eBay message and I'll list it here on eBay for you.
Below this line is general information about all three separately
listed items and how to use them.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is for the SP1200 90s black reissue with switching power supply
ONLY (not the one that gets hot and warns you not to touch here). The
older 1987 gray SP1200s and 1985 SP-12s can't use this, they don't use
a soldered wiring harness, they use an AC inlet, fuse holder, rocker
switch, and wiring with quick disconnect terminals.
1) That damned switch cap! Probably 10 or 20 percent of all black SPs
out there are missing the switch cap. Finally, it is available from
Synhouse.
If you just want the switch cap, then just buy the switch cap. It fits
so snugly on the switch that trying to pull it off could dislocate the
switch plunger.
The bad news? Of all the missing switch caps I've seen on black SP1200s
(and that's a LOT, it didn't take much looking to find several photos
of SP1200s with missing caps, some people trying to get $5,000 for an
SP1200 that doesn't even have the switch.....your SP is trash, get some
parts already...), about 9 out of 10 aren't just missing, but the shaft
inside is broken off, so there is nothing to put a new cap on.
Sometimes, there is a little bit of the shaft left, enough to hold the
cap on it and some super glue or epoxy glue might help with that, but
most of the time it's long gone and you need a new switch as well as
the switch cap. Which means a lot of soldering...
2) The AC switch. This doesn't include the switch cap, and you have to
solder it up yourself.
3) The complete wiring harness. All of the above and more. This has all
the high voltage AC power components of the SP1200 90s black reissue in
one assembly, complete from end to end: AC power inlet, ground strap,
AC power switch, switch cap, two screws to mount the switch, power
connector to attach to the power supply, and all wiring. This is an
improvement over the stock setup in some ways, with a better, more snug
fit on the AC inlet so it doesn't jiggle around, it is rock solid, and
heavier guage wires (pure copper Triumphcable). The wires are machine
cut, stripped, and tinned, and the assembly has been hand soldered with
heat shrink tubing over all connections. Look at the photos, it's
beautiful.
There is usually no need for a full replacement wiring harness.
I haven't seen many black SP1200s that had damaged or missing wires,
but it's a messy and tricky lot of soldering to put a new switch on the
old wiring harness, so the full wiring harness is offered mostly just
for the sake of convenience. If you have the common broken switch
problem, you can most easily replace the whole thing without any
soldering, just screwdrivers (and a nut driver, small wrench, or pliers
to remove the nut that holds the ground strap in place).
To install the full wiring harness setup after removing the old parts,
just put the AC switch in through the rectangular hole for the AC inlet
from the outside, then pull everything in through that hole, ending up
with the AC inlet ready to snap into place. Make sure the AC inlet
ground pin is facing down instead of up, then press the tabs down a
little to get it started, then press hard to seat it into place. Use a
very small screwdriver (phillips or even a small flathead will work),
and tighten up those two screws to hold the switch in place. These are
the factory correct screws with the captive star washer, so no separate
washers are needed.
You don't need to un-solder anything then solder it back, it can be
installed quickly all in one piece!
BTW, it might seem that someone else has this AC inlet and/or AC switch
for sale, but if you try them, you'll learn something about the SP1200
(and end up with a file and a drill and a crooked switch because they
aren't the right parts).
Replacement tips and techniques from my decades of working with SPs:
Once you have placed the brand new AC inlet or switch cap in place,
DON'T remove it and try it on every other machine you have just for
fun. The AC inlet won't fit as snugly the second time and just trying
to remove the switch cap could damage the switch by dislocating the
plunger, not to mention that the switch cap will only fit really snugly
the first time.
Combined shipping deals:
There is a minimum shipping price for all of my small components and a
different minimum for a very low value item or for something $50 or
more. However, I can ship almost any number of parts for the
international shipping price that it shows for most of those items. So
if you want, for example, an SP1200 overlay and some knobs and some
switches, or knobs and switches and potentiometers or whatever, just
let me know IN ADVANCE and I will set up a special listing for you so
that you will only pay the shipping once. This is if you tell me IN
ADVANCE, not if you ask for it later because any shipping money paid
has already been docked 4.9% by PayPal and another 10% by eBay and that
money is not coming back. Yes, eBay takes 10% of the stated shipping
charge since 2011, and PayPal has always taken 4.9% of that money for
international and 2.9% for domestic. So let me know IN ADVANCE and I
can set it up so that you can save a lot of money by buying and
shipping the parts together.
I can also set up special listings for different quantities of items
sometimes. Usually the price is the same per item but I can set it up
and that saves a lot of money on shipping.
