Vintage Synth Repair

In case my message didnt get through...
 
Like I said before I had 5 or so SH-101's most of them in mint, as new condition. They all did this. I couldn't find a fault. It never affected opreration so I put it down to a design anomaly.

If you flex the switch and got that symptom and then changed it out and still 
get it, then the switch isn't the problem. I didn't think it would be, 
actually.

What's happening is that you're flexing the board, and that's affecing 
something else. From the stuff I snipped it sounds to me like that 
particular instrument was pretty sadly abused, so you may need to look 
further before you nail the problem.

A good strong light, maybe a magnifying glass or a pair of reading glasses, 
and some patience and you'll probably be able to track that down.
