Vintage Synth Repair

hi everyone:
i've been playing a moog prodigy for close to 15 years now and have run into this problem 
for the first time:
when i'm playing the keyboard will sometimes drop or rise in pitch uncontrollably. it might 
drop a semitone or two and then stay there for a while, and then rise quickly and drop 
again... if i turn it off it often will right itself but i can't be doing that when i'm playing live, 
which i do often. 
has anybody experienced this before?

thank you for the two responses. i assume i can clean the contacts myself? regarding the last 
service of this board, it's been a while. the problem here is that i can't seem to find a good 
vintage synth repair guy. i live in toronto and one would think that there would be a handful 
but i can't seem to find any good ones. anybody know any quality vintage synth repair people 
in toronto? any help would be greatly appreciated.

   Call Matt Thibideau at (416) 536-4921 and tell him i sent you and that you need a tech and he'll hook you up. Or, if you wanna make a road trip to London, we could do it in an evening over pizza.
