Nope.
Performer does not have a VCO at all - 50240 is TOS, and TOS and VCO are kind of
mutually exclusive :) Anyway, both the string and brass sections are feeded by
the same TOS/dividers, there's no voltage control there.
BTW, I
bought a couple of TDA1008-s for my (then defunct) Performer last year for ab 6
Euros apiece from Finland. 50240 is a completely different story, I am not aware
of any source for those.

(afaik, i´ve trashed it one Year ago, i´m sorry for the wrong
Chip-Manufacturers/Types) -only- a TDA1008 and a replacement part (even
the 1008 was defect) would have cost more than 40 Euro here. I currently
own a Siel Cruise and it has a separate (VCO?) for the Mono-Section and
a MK50240 for the Poly-Section. The Poly-Section also didn´t made any
sound, only a quiet opamp-1shot- noise while pressing a key, but that
wasn´t a Malfunction of the 50240; there was a 4066 nearly the TOG which
was defect....
