A guy wanted me to sell this for him but it has problems. Like new
looking later serial number. 5900 ish. Anyway when we powered it up
here it wouldn't allow any knob edits. And occasionally would lock up.
Always locks up if you hit the sequencer button. I noted that moving
the mod wheel would unlock it sometimes! Weirrrddd. Anyway I get
inside and it all looks ok but there is ...from the 4067 chips on the
front panel, just 2 V peak jibberish signals. Both of them are doing
the same thing. All the analog knob voltages look fine on the inputs
and the address lines and 5V all look good. Hmm.. and grounds is making
good connection also. So I'm quite puzzled ..anybody else seen these
chips fail in that mode? They're just showing a 2V flat line with
periodic rapid ground drop and jagged rise back to 2V..
