first of many Putney Q's

[Saul Stokes]

Hi everybody, last week I said I was thinking of buying a VCS-3. I bought 
tonight and it's in even better shape than I originally thought. I have a 
couple of questions I'd like to ask to hopefully narrow down why it's not 
working.

   Is it always producing a sound even when the pins aren't in? I'm 
wondering this because of the headphone out.  No part of the matrix leads 
to the headphones.

  I've found about 4 bad solder connections but I'm curious to know first 
if I just don't know enough about the patch matrix to get it working.

  Please feel free to put your 2 cents in on things I should look at.  
This thing looks like Army Surplus!
