If you don't have a scope, repairs can be difficult.
However, first check to see if there's audio output from the "output" test
point on the voice board (use jumpers input into a small amp) -- if there
is, the next step in the chain is the effects board, which handles the
audio before passing it on to the output jack. Check all the connectors on
this board, including the one that connects to the CPU board (this one
carries the main volume CV).
I'm assuming you have the schematics?
