Octave SRM CAT... VCO2 problems

Octave SRM CAT... VCO2 problems

2005-05-09 by oxygeno1313

Hi,

this time i have another problem with the CAT ... the VCO 2 it's
dead. It was working well, but now no sound. I trace the VCO 2
waveforms, but no waveform its working, i could see a bad SAW
waveform comming form the CA3046 (pin 11). The CA3140 it's too hot, i
check the TEMPCO 2k resistors and they are fine. I replaced the
CA3046 and CA3140 and other releated components from the VCO 2 but
nothing works.

Anyone had experieced this problem ? I really need your help guys.

Best Regards,

P.D. If someone can take a look at the schematic here's a good link.
