where do I check for updates? mine is indeed an early one (i think!). I'll check that pot too....
The best thing to do would be check the date on the documentation and let us know. Do you have the manuals? I know there have been a few used systems for sale over the past few years. If you bought this one used I hope you got the manual.
I can't remember the specifics of my pot problem. I'm kinda thinking that it may have been similar to what you mention (I think it preceded the MOTM list so any correspondence I had with Paul or anyone wouldn't be in the archives). After a while I was quite sure it was the pot, I disconnected it and tried another (carbon pot I had laying around) of the same value and it worked fine. I wouldn't suggest trying to disconnect the pot until you are very sure that is the problem -- big hassle.
One additional test (which won't tell you much) would be to try and attenuate your EG with a different pot and leave your CV MOD pot all the way up -- or better yet, try turning it to see if it "comes and goes" in different positions. You can run your EG through any DC coupled module which has an attenuator (a mixer, possibly some of the filters, etc.)
Good luck!
