Also remember that GE are not the only way to get pitch->CV into a synth. With my early Serge I use a PV-1 module with decent results. It has a complicated lineage... It was from the Moog Etherwave, and Dr. Moog gave Harry Bissell permission to do a PCB run of the circuit, and he released it as a project via Tom Gamble's EFM. If it helps, the manual is still online kind courtesy of Mathias Hermann:

Mind you, I am practically tone-deaf, and should probably not have any pitched modules anyway! But it seems to work. So if your GE PEF can't be revived, there is still hope.
