CGS35 Steiner VCF

CGS35 Steiner VCF

2012-12-28 by Steve Inselman

Anyone know why my Synthacon VCF would have weak RES and FREQ?
The freq doesn't sound like it is opening up all the way and the res has minimal effect w/ no self osc. at all.

I've replaced the transistors and quadruple checked my soldering and wiring. I've tried both -v and ground on the freq pot. -V had better results.
It is such a simple circuit, I have no idea why it is not working.

Any ideas would be appreciated.
Best,
Steve

Check your capacitor and resistor values. You could have a wrongly placed part.

Okay, I'll look them over again.
Thanks Ken.
