unfortunately my bintic filter is still not working...
I've replaced the tl072, ca3140 and the lm394, but still the
oscillator part is not working as expected.
I've noticed that depending on the setting of the frequency coarse
pot, I have different readings on the circuit.
I've added here a link to a part of the circuit diagram where I've
indicated some measurements done in both minimum and maximum
position of the frequency coarse potmeter. I hope somebody can give
me clue where more or less the problem should be with this data.
Thanks a lot in advance, you can find the drawing here :
