Hi Anthony 

I will try to make some pictures - hopefully later today
- it's 2 VCA' s by the way - 4 VCF's....
No haven't tried that yet...do you think a compressed air spraycan 
would be enough to handle that???? 
And it's actually not so strange - those pots and everything else 
is 24 years old!!!! Surprising that it even still works.
I do have to adjust the tuning though... I tried yesterday to run all 
4 VCO's from my (also old) DX7 and they were pretty much out of 
tune - that is to say 2 are reasonably ok but the others.. phew.
Only problem seems to be that the gate that I get from the 
MPU101 works fine on the external gates that I made on 2 
ADSR's but not when I connect it to the gate-input where 
normally my keyboard would have been...  will dive into that 
later...

cheers
Hans
