Vintage Synth Repair

Hi Shayne,


Congrats, that's a great little synth.  I use mine for live gigs all the 
time.  The RCA in/outs in back do absolutely nothing.  Radio Shack put them 
on there so the kiddies could hook it up into their home stereo system and 
still have the record player in also.




The Control Jacks in back labelled Pitch and Trigger are for CV and GATE.


You will probably need to get it all tuned up before you can use it as if it 
came from a yard sale, I doubt the owner used that function, or used the 
synth at all in a while...




There are MODS you can do to it of course, the AUDIO IN (or FILTER IN) MOD 
is listed on this page along with tons of other info on it:

What I would love would be MODS for LFO IN/OUT and VCF control, but I've 
never been able to find those.  Anyone, Anyone, Bueller???




Any way, Good Luck,


Jim
