Selling - 1 x Serge TKB, 1 x Serge 5 Step, 1 x Serge 4 Step and mor

Hi I'm Selling - 1 x Serge TKB, 1 x Serge 5 Step, 1 x Serge 4 Step, 1
x Serge Quantiser plus 2 x rare Driscol 32 Stage SEQ Modules - the TKB
is 90% functional (only 1 Random input seems to fire but the rest is
good), the 2 Smaller sequencers do not run - I have tested the
internal pins to the best of my ability - the Decade/Clock chips
generate clocks and CVs but these do not appear at the front panel
banana jacks - I feel confident it is a matter of Cap/resistor fault
rather than something more sinister. I am no technician. I have close
up photos - please email me if interested. david@...

The Serge sequencers don't have internal clocks. You have to clock them
from an external source.

Sorry - yes I know they must be clocked externally - so, to clarify -
External 5 volt pulse clock sent to Serge 4/5 Step SEQs [Clock Input]
- the SEQs do not provide seq/clocked voltage changes at the Row
Outputs on the front panel - however - a multimeter across the Main
Counter Chip IC output pins shows CV/Clock activity as expected -
hence my deduction that bewteen IC and front panel - a simple
component may be at fault. Regards - David.

Thanks for the photos. Could we also get a close-up of the driscoll seqnencer?
