If so, it is hard-wiring the internal osc to the 4006 clock input (i.e. just bypassing the switching contact in the jack socket), in which case the comment about it working when something external is connected doesn't make sense to me, nor it being 'tuned'??!

Hopefully I can clarify this last bit.

If I remember correctly from before the unit acted up... the rate knob no longer functions once an external source is used. With the hardwire I did I found that with a external clock source inserted the digital noise returned and was now tunable against the incoming sound.

A better mofd would be to make the lower OSC tunable.
