Eml synthesizers

Hey guys, just found this forum.  Also just acquired an eml 101.

So OSC2 seems to be making subsonic oscs.  Reading the user and service manual it seems like it should be making human-range oscillations like osc3 and 4 are, but instead i am hearing mostly nothing, and sometimes that little "flap" you hear when you are listening to the direct out from the other oscs when you have them set to cm/-1/etc.

this is wrong, right?  or am i missing something?

Thanks for the response.

Any idea what might be causing it to be operable but in LFO range?

I'll be taking it apart for a thorough cleaning soon and although I'm not up to snuff in synth circuit design, I have a decent working knowledge of audio electronics troubleshooting and repair.

I'd check to see if the CV path from the select switch to the VCO is intact.
