clap-trap-ap-ap-ap-ap-ap clapping issue

2014-05-02 by jesper

Hi list,

one of my analogue claptraps has got a clap problem that I just 
discovered. I mainly trigger it from external trigger but now and then I 
need to tweak the sound and then I use the autoclapping function. 
Normally that works just fine but now I can turn it on, but not off. I 
need to use the on/off switch to get it back to normal. And then, if I 
autoclap again it won't stop.

Since the button obviously works I don't expect dirt or corrosion. I 
haven't checked the schematics yet, but it sounds like some switch logic 
circuit to me. Anyone who has experienced the same or maybe know exactly 
what's wrong?

It's not a big issue, but it's bloody annoying-ing-ing-ing-ing.

It's the mk1 btw (serial 008, so it's an early bird...)
