OK All, More OB-8 Probs...

    Sorry to grind on like this, but I've got a new more serious problem, 
and I'm starting to panic a little!

    Seems that I now have a wonky oscillator. Oscillator 1 of voice 8 is
misbehaving. Beyond a certain frequency, the scaling seems to go, and as you
go up the keyboard it sounds more and more like it's being modulated by a
noise generator or something. Bad cap (hopefully)? Bad 3340 (hopefully not)?
The tuning is bad enough that the auto-tune has started to drop voice 8 in
its routine. The oscillator still seems to be putting out a decent
pulse/saw/tri wave, but it just loses its pitch stability up top.

    Don't get me wrong, I paid a decent buck to a dealer for a physically
beautiful specimen, and originally a pretty well functioning one at that.
But now I'm starting to wonder just what you get. I just wish my Obie was
well!! Aaargh! :-(

    If anyone can advise, PLEASE contact me!

Cheers,
Gavin Muir
