[sdiy] uA726s off the bay for my mini do not work

[Keith Winstanley]

Just finished my minimoog temp comp oscillator board with
726s from hongkongsuperseller, same batch no. as the ones that
are for sale now 0012 - plugged the board in my mini - not a peep!

Took out one of the HKSS 726s and pushed a NOS 726 with
gold legs in its place - didn't even solder it, plugged the board
in and one perfectly good mini oscillator springs to life!

So I have now replaced all 3 HKSS 726s with NOS with gold legs
and the oscillators are all functioning as they should - almost all
in tune too and I haven't touched any calibration yet!

I will let you all draw your own conclusions - I have contacted
the relevant parties

all the best

Keith
