       I don't know if this can help you, but my uMoog had a similar
       problem caused by the low-quality-rotary-switch for the
       modulation destination. Try this when the problem appear.
       Remove the knob and lift and press the "pin". NOT to hard!
       If you get a crackle or something it is the switch and you buy
       a new one. There are lots of manufactures for this model.

 >>About five years ago when i knew nothing about moogs except that
 steroeolab used them, i had the luck of buying a micromoog for twenty
 dollars. Well in many ways it is a beast of a micromoog due to some
 kind of "problems" with the oscillator or something else. Basically
 it works really well on good days, producing deep rich bass, but on
 other days my oscillator will conk out giving me nothing but trebly
 junk. Some days it is a combination of both climaxing with nothhing
 but white noise after twenty minutes. needless to say it is useless
 live due to such logistical problems. Anyone have any advice on what
 i could do to get it working well again? Nothing is broken except the
 ribbon pitch shifter, although the doubling,frequency,and wide
 settings also have no effect whatsoever, so maybe lots of things are
 broken. I must get it working well for i love it to
 death. ALl help appreciated.
