Minimoog - dead oscillator - help!

[Andrew Haveland-Robinson]

Hi,

I've had a Minimoog for 17 years (sn 11491) and a few years ago Oscillator 2
died on me - I suspected the 7834 thing and swapped it with the one in OSC1.
Osc1 still worked and Osc2 was still dead so that wasn't it...

I don't have a scope, and my multimeter is little use. Can anyone suggest any
components that are prone to failure that I could replace in the hope that it
will work again?

There are a couple of other things that need doing too:

The keyboard was malfunctioning in that when a key is pressed the pitch rises
smoothly several octaves - I took it completely apart and cleaned the bus bars
that the springs contact with. This mostly fixed it but one note occasionally
"wobbles". I guess the gold springs need cleaning too, but this is difficult.
Any ideas?

Glide up is much quicker than glide down - again, any ideas on fixing this?

(I just got it down from the loft after forgetting about it for a couple of
years and gave it a thorough clean - taking all the keys off and putting them
in the dishwasher, removing and cleaning all the knobs and facia etc.)

Regards,
Andy.
