[sdiy] Vox Continental waveforms

Hi All,

Does anyone know what the Vox Continental waveforms look like? Has  
anyone with a scope also got a Connie? Pretty pleeeze!

The reason I ask is that I'd always assumed that they're square waves  
(straight out of a divider) but today I learned that (unusually for a  
divider organ) the Vox put filters on every divider output, as well  
as on the mixed busbar outputs for the 'flute' footages (typical of  
most divider organs).

The circuit diagram shows a simple RC filter, so I'm expecting a  
"shark's fin" waveform (sort of curved trianglish/sawish waveform).

Quotes from a designer of the Continental on this page below say the  
wave is a "sawtooth". I can't believe that's an accurate description.

Thanks,
Tom
