So my MOTM-300 started wandering... a lot. I said 'crap, I assembled
something wrong.' Checked solder joints, parts, etc, and I discovered
that it was a 'mechanical' problem... IE when I whacked the module, it
would straighen out (or make worse) the problem.
To make a long story short, the problem seems to be a weak (and now
BROKEN) lead on one of the spectrol 149 100k pots. (Course on the 300)
Crap. I ∗think∗ there's an electronics shop relatively locally that
carries 'specialty' parts, so I'll check there at some point, but...
does anyone have a 'spare' pot I could use/buy? I'll probably gut one
from my as-of-yet unassembled 800 if it uses 100k 149s, will check later
tonight.
DAMN I feel special. Oh well, I had loads of fun before it got unstable
and the lead broke.
