Re: Drat -- foiled again, value for D2 needed, if any?

2007-09-23 by funkymonkeypeter

Tabernack,  "is another problem" is true.  I have failed spectacularly
in my attempt to do the moogslayer mod.  I did the straight pot
transfer from vr5 and vr2 to the front pannel with a factory/ mod
switch as per the olaf-nv "schematic" in photos.  That worked fine,
but i must have miss-wired something when i attempted to do the full
moog slayer mod.  No output except for very faint static when pressing
a key that continues for about a second after releasing the key, even
after returning everything to before any changes.  While pulling out
the changes I did get one tone while touching with my finger one of
the wires that went to VR5 that would change when moving the joystick
downward.  The diode I thought was smoked was fine.  The only tools i
have at my disposal are a decent multimeter with Hz measurement and a
soldering iron.  Is there any hope?  Assume that i sent the 4v dc
straight into any of the other connections ground, VR5 or VR2.  (next
time i will use different colored wires).  All other functions work
tape load, midi out parameter change etc.

Hope its not junk, help...
