[sdiy] off topic: but worth it

[Bob Weigel]

You and me too...A guy wanted to buy my P5 and gave a good offer for a 
ruggesized 3.1... and I had just replaced a couple J-wires and thought 
it was all perfect..but...when I played it..it acted like arbitrary 
notes were coming out!  I thought "Surely I got solder somewhere it 
shouldn't go under there when I reached to do the Jwires by brail.."

Guess what?  A 3340 blew out RIGHT as I went to retest it and it just 
happened that the detuned oscillator emulated precisely what I might 
hear if a trace were shorted and giving a pattern of notes bass notes 
from the middle of hte keyboard! heheh!  I mean..I went "DUH well 
that'll be easy"... so now I know how to do a tune job on a P5.  I'd 
never had to do that on the ones I've worked on.  THe new chip was quite 
different. But it's gorgeous again now.  zoiks. Do we see a pattern 
here?  Hmm? Simultaneous, orchestrated to deceive phenomena.  SOTDP I'll 
call it.  This plagues me just..way too often.. -Bob
