I don't know, I'm no 106 expert. But I was at that musicstore where they
said the osc was gone, and the actual module (potted) was taped onto the
unit. It was not small,not big,say 1.5 by 3 inches. The unit could not be
repaired by Roland Benelux. The module is out-of-stock. Too bad, otherwise I
seriously considered buying it,altough I was looking for an MKS-50.
