Hi Pat.
No didn't get to the bottom of it, but it wasn't any of the following...
Filter chip, electrolytics, filter caps, control inputs (multiplexers), VCA
transistors (just incas it was a loading issue).
The only thing I did that seemed to make difference was to clean the board
with isopropyl. The effect of doing this was that once the Polysix
has warmed up.... The problem disappears.
I can only think that the issue is related to either spillage, or
electrolyte on the board in that area.
If you have any joy, please let me know.
Cheers
B
