The Kawai & Teisco Analog Synths Group

Does it happen on all voices ?

Someone on the vintagesynthrepair group has just noted about a 
spanish company sending him the schematics for SX240, you might be 
able to get the one for the SX210 too...

from his words:

"I get it from spanish official service 'Bilbao Trading' in Madrid."
