MOTM

When Paul wrote:

"However, I don't forsee a reason to redesign. It *is* a cheap, 
simple circuit."

IMHO, this comment seemed very un-MOTM. I really started to 
get to get worried and hoped the remedies he suggested would 
work, when they didn't seem to, I guess I went from worry to 
panic. Hence the request for an FCO (field change order). I'm 
really glad this is being looked into.

Can someone recap the problems, preferably in terms of what 
ranges and combinations of settings work as one would expect? 
Also, will it hold a steady sustain voltage that doesn't change as 
non-sustain parameters are adjusted. If so, is max sustain 5V, 
like it's supposed to be for the "good" settings?

In the meantime, I guess I'll set the 800s aside and work on the 
other kits.

Thanks, Barry
