Side cab power supply

Of the 2 side cabs, one PSU works fine (this one), the other is kaput.
I recapped this one, tho it was a shame to remove the 'extralytic' cap!

Yes, a lot of boring photos, but if someone needs to work on one of these one day, hopefully these pics will help.

Mix sequencer module 1050

This is one fantastic multifunction module, de-tantied, dusted, some loose wiring repaired. All good!
I resisted the temptation to replace the single wipe ic sockets, if it aint broke why fix it? 










Dual EG 1033

Now de-tantied & dusted, some wiring trimmed & re-soldered.
(pics are before TLC)





tanties be gone!

1027 sequencer

What a nice sequencer! So glad it all works perfectly.
VC frequency and VC gate width, but it doesn't have VC stage select....2/3 is pretty good

1006 Filt/Amp

Not much to do with this, it looks new. Just checked all the functions and blew off the dust.





1023 dual VCO

The VCO on the right side didn't work, the dymo label of 'NG' is commonly used in Japan (where this synth has lived the past 40 years) the same way it is used in English....no good!

The panel has two toggle switches and two extra pots these are intended to make the VCOs similar to the 1004VCO (which has an on/off switch and PWM input).
The pots are attenuators for PWM inputs. The PWM inputs are unlabelled but are switch 1 and switch 6.
The toggle switches have not been connected to anything, the 'NG' PCB had two additional FETs (2N5461) added (again to work like a 1004). Removing these FETs got the VCO working again.
for now the switches are unused.




All those fkn tanties are gone now
