i posted the following to the odyssey list, but thought there might be
some wisdom here as well.  i have just rejoined the list (i was on a
couple of years ago).

in addition to the below..does anyone know if it is possible to patch in
a liniar cv jack to the oscilators between the cv expo converter and the
ocillator??  will this work, and what safetys should i include???

hi all, i have a whiteface that i have just fixed the osc 2 on, and 
now i can't believe how great it sounds!  i have a bunch of things 
that i need/want to do to finish the restoration, and figured i'd see 
what other odyssey users think.

1.  the white paint/enamal on my machine seems to be cracking around 
where the bolts are glued to the inside (the cracks are hexagonal 
like the head of a bolt)...is there anything to do???  i was thinking 
of putting some clear, flexible epoxy (like you use on fishing rods) 
to keep it from speading.  any ideas???

2.  i need to lubricate the sliders...what should i use??

3.  i want to add some midi functionality, as well as patch the whole 
thing out.  i've looked at the midijack, but that only gives 1 cv.  i 
was thinking of using a paia converter, and mounting it on the back, 
or in a separte box...perhaps with a breakout box for the 
patchpoints??  another idea i had was installing a big patchboard 
where the keyboard lives, and building an external case for the 
keyboard.  i do have several analog synths i want to do this to, so 
if anyone has brilliant ideas, i'd love to hear them.

4.  i need to fix an axxe for a friend...does anyone have schematics 
for an axxe (an early one, whith a pitch bend knob)?
