Hi Robert, thanks for the kind words... Make sure it isn't just the fuses blown on the supply. It happens a lot. I hope all is well! JL

Hi Robert,
Personally I would rebuild the PSU - with new caps and IC's. And then I would set the voltages with the PSU seperate from the rest of the synth. Then I would power her up and see what happens.
Cheers,
TOM
