==================

sweet!

what i'm needing is pictures of the inside, especially if you replace one 
or both resistors with 0.25W vertically oriented resistors. that part 
seems to be confusing people. i'd take pictures of the inside of my 
ex800... but... i don't want to confuse anyone ;)

i'd be surprised if it's dead. they're tough little synths. if it looks 
good, it should either work or be an easy fix.

keep us updated....
