Memorymoog Plus HELP

Memorymoog Plus HELP

2003-12-21 by oxygeno13

Hi,

I have a Memorymoog Plus, but i have a big problem, i hope anyone can 
help me :

- I was using a Roland SH-5 and controlling it with the MM+ via CV 
gate and sending a MIDI from a sequencer. Everything was working 
good. 

- Someday i turned on the MM+, i hit the autotune and the display 
said "ZERO TUNED" ... some other day i turned on and nothing 
happended... no sound, no controls, no display , just the MOD RATE 
LED and AUTOTUNE was lighting. 

- I opened the MM+ and checked everything, i revised the bulletins 
services, and i found that almost of the upgrades were made, maybe 
some of the upgrade came from factory and others were made my some 
technician, the only upgrades that are not installed are the 842A, 
843, 844, 845. The bulletin 846 (Alphanumeric display) is installed. 
I noticed that the bulletin 843 talk about the ZERO TUNED. I checked 
the Power supply voltages and everything its OK. 

- On the CONTOUR/GLIDE board i found flux oxidation at the front of 
every IC sockets (74LS08NS and 74LS32NS) I cleaned the sockets and 
the ICs, but the problem still . I replaced the sockets and new ICs. 
The problem persist

- I was thinking could be the EPROMS.

Im a hardcore DIY, i fixed many vintages synths and drum machines, 
but this one is really a Frankestein (hehehe). 

Hope can help me with this... i paid 1800 dlls for this synth, and 
now its not working... i would like to S&H to Moog CE or any other 
Moog technician but now its very very expensive for me and i really 
dont want to pay more money. Well, i can pay for the support if any1 
want and have the time, i really need help. The older owner of this 
synth paid $1000 dlls for a repair, he sent the MM to Hollywood, i 
have the original bill, he gave me that bill when i bought it. They 
changed some CEM IC and the alphanumeric display and the oscillators 
tune.

if anyone can sell me a copy of the EPROMs, i can re-program them.


Thanks for support ... !!!
