Jupiter-8 part needed FIXED!

Thanks everyone for replying!

When Tony Allgood mentioned the SH-09, it made me think of a dead RS-09
I have,
and I decided to make it more dead. ;-).  (Didn't realize it had the
BA662A 
in it. I replaced it and now I have all 16 VCOs firing, YAY!, of course 
I'm not done, 2 minor problems to knock out now.

1) VCO2 sine waveform noisy
2) VOICES A,B,C,D sound brighter than VOICES E,F,G,H. I assume this 
   is narrowing the problem to a MODULE CONTROLLER, which one, 
   I not sure.


Thanks again!

I'm slowly getting closer to being ready for a midi kit.
