Okay, kids, I've just about wrapped up work on my Wurlitzer model 112 electric piano, so now I'm getting ready to grit my teeth and return to work on a device that drove me nearly to madness about half a year ago: my non-functioning Arp Omni. So here's the basic synopsis of what I can remember: After a bit of simple work (mostly replacing the infamous leaky caps), it powers up just fine. All lights work. No sound is produced, except for a bit of "key click". The filters, however, obviously work, as I can hear these "key clicks" processed through the filters (i.e., I can hear the frequency response change at the appropriate intervals). All keys obviously work as they can all produce this "key click". Apparently the tone generator itself or something in its path is the problem, and will not produce synth OR string sounds. I can't remember EVERYTHING I replaced in an attempt to produce sound, but I recall replacing a few IC chips, transistors, capactitors. So... any suggestions, kids?
