Vintage Synth Repair

Gil,

Sounds to me like you need to "solder" the flags onto the wires (they are only *crimped* as standard) on certain (selected) connectors.

I have some notes somewhere of which ones those are - you may be able to Google it though.

It's a tedious job - I did it on my latest Mini which displayed those exact symptoms. It is now solid and probably my "best" of the three I own.

Hope this helps, please let us know.

Cheers,
TOM

It affects all oscillators at the same time. Is this a known issue in old minimoogs? I would usually suspect either power supply main voltage instability, bad caps or transistors, but being it affecting all 3 oscillators, I tend to think it is not oscillator circuit related ? :/ I'm new to minimoogs so any help would be appreciated... Thanks !
