OB-8 no sound

2013-03-01 by stargazer052070

I finally got my OB-8 out of storage and when I turn it on I get no sound.  After I replaced the battery, I tried loading the factory patches.  I could hear the audio file via the mono output, although the patch load failed.  That's the only time I heard anything.  I tried loading the patches again many times and heard no sound each time.  I would imagine these two problems are related.

This is my first attempt at electronic repair and would love to tackle this myself.  Any ideas what I could look at first?

Thanks, all!

Jeff
