I've got a Kitten and CS-15 that I don't feel like putting anymore
time into. Both of these are in need of some TLC. On the bench they
work well, but I am not expirienced enough to do a full repair on them
and everytime I get them back into their cases something else goes
wrong.
The kitten has trouble tracking CV, but everything else is working.
Again, on the bench I had it tracking from a Mono/Poly just fine.
I've checked all the components, and believe it to be a malfunctioning
TL082 (1$ at radio shack). I don't have the skill or patience to
track this down anymore tho. Cosmetically this ones a bit rough. If
you have a source for new pots/sliders it could use em, they arn't
scratchy (I cleaned each one inside and out), but they arn't new
either. The keyboard was in bad shape when I got it, and I've been
unable to make an improvement (it's a 'dual' J-wire, I'd just hook it
up through CV and be done with it). On the plus side the filter's got
a nice SSM2040 in it, and it works quite well ;)
The CS-15 is in much better physical shape than the Kitten, it seems
that the problem was just a faulty power supply, which I've replaced.
However, I have yet to mount it in the case, so you'll have to do
that. The keyboard isn't working yet, but I believe this to be a
simple fix as well.
100$ each. Pics are available.
