A-143-3 mod for lower LFO rate?

A-143-3 mod for lower LFO rate?

2007-05-03 by ginorobair

Hello Dieter and list, 
Is there a simple mod to lower the LFO rates further on an A-1453-3? I would like to double 
the time of at least one of the LFOs, if possible.
Thanks for any suggestions.
cheers,
ginorobair

Gino,

that's easy. You simply have to solder two capacitors in parallel to the
existing capacitors C3 and C4 or to replace the two capacitors by larger
values. C3 and C4 are the two electrolytic capacitors behind the frequency
potentiometer. The factory value is 2.2uF for both capacitors. If you e.g.
replace them by 10u the max. period is about 5 times more. If you solder the
10u capacitors in parallel to C3 and C4 (instead of replacing them) the
total capacity is about 12u and the max. time is about 6 times.

Best wishes
