>>I run out of adjustment with the OSC HI trimpot. I've played around with adjusting the OSC RANGE and OSC HI trimpots but again I run out of adjustment.<< Allan, it's a long shot- I only really know the later models (rogue, prodigy & source, & of course my beloved LAMM memorymoog) but: is there a component in the vicinity of the oscillator that's supposed to track temperature changes? I once had a korg mono/poly in bits, & each of the four SSM oscillator chips had a thermistor badly glued to it's top surface. the idea was to temperature-compensate the IC, but it fails rather spectacularly if the thermal device & the chip aren't properly coupled. this can happen when the glue goes brittle & cracks, leaving you with an air-gap & no temp-comp. good temperature compensation is essential for accurate V>Hz tracking at the higher frequencies, though the errors can go un-noticed below 1000Hz or so. there may be the vaguest reference to it on the schemo- as I recall, it's a regular old-school resistor symbol (zigzag) with a dot next to it & a circle round the whole lot. I may be wrong on this... but in any case, the actual object is likely to be quite obvious on the PCB. hth- duncan.
