Re: [vintagesynthrepair] Arp Odyssey Rev 3 service info

2009-06-09 by Damon Mar

Hi, thanks for the info!  I would definitely like to see a link to the service manual!

I'm glad to hear that odysseys are fairly simple to service; they look so simple and clearly laid out inside!  I just want to make sure I'm testing the right locations and not shorting anything out.

Thanks again for your help, I appreciate it!


Damon

Hello,

I'll send you a link to a service manual in another mail.

I find Odysseys quite easy to service.

First thing you should do is to remove all the power connectors from the
three boards and see if the power supply puts out the required +15/-15
volts then. If it doesn't the supply is the problem. If the +15/-15 volts
are there probably one of the boards has faulty tantalum caps.
