Hi Marcin,

  Thanks for the quick reply and the offer! YouSendIt.com is the one 
S-H I see most often. They've never hassled me after registering. I 
don't think my Yahoo account allows more the 10 MB at a time. The 
file area here is 100mb now if you wanted to post it in the files 
section for a while and then take it down that would probably be cool 
too. Is there a lot more to the manual than the first edition?

  Right now I've cleaned all the buttons and pots after disassembling 
 the whole synth. I cleaned and lubed the joystick thinking maybe 
that is the source of the midi CC chatter. I replaced the corroded 
(but not the board, whew!) battery with a nice gold contact holder 
and fresh CR2032. Next all the keys need cleaning.  2 "F" keys are 
not working and the "G4" key is snapped off but still works. Dust 
Bunnies have been multiplying in the puppy for years for sure. 

Thanks again, Narfman
