keyboards 2

Got one of these working at last. Some re-wiring, a good scrub, remove some of the mods and a bit of guesswork.

 I can only assume this isn't how it left the factory. The rest of the Arp is beautifully wired, but this is shit.
 slightly less shit
 I assume this is an external input jack, it had been rewired so turning the switch connected +15V to ground. Decided it was not a useful mod and removed it. If anybody is able to supply photos or a schematic showing how this is connected, please comment.
 Again I don't know if this is standard or mods.


 This is the side panel on one keyboard. The pot and switch are not connected to anything. The other pot & circuit put a voltage onto the external jack, but are not connected to the keyboard other than sharing power supply. It seems unfinished or half-baked, bit of a theme with this synth.
Power connections rewired and heatshrinked.

  1. Hi, the PCB wiring changes look like attempts to improve the 1001 circuit which is prone to drifting. If you need to know what they are let me know as I have the schematics.
