Yep, I've done the whole service routine, and it all calibrated up just fine.

Unfortunately, I don't have any spare ADC0804's to toss in there. Where would I find one now?

Pulling the control positive for Osc 2 Env creates this strange band-modulated sort of thing as the oscillator sweeps down, then pulling the slider negative, instead of creating a rising pitch like the other oscillators, starts with silence and fades in. Detune doesn't do anything at all, and Vibrato creates some sort of waveform that's different from the other 5 oscillators and just plain wrong. By itself - unmodulated - the oscillator runs and tracks just fine.
