Hi,

I have a Juno 106 with the same problem as Bram. It's 6 note polyphonic
but sometimes, only 5 notes are playable, the 6th note seems cracky or
dirty. I've tried replacing the fuses for the input power from the
transformer to the PCBs in the Juno but it doesn't help. Guess this is
the 106's bug !
