Re: [oberheim] Oberheim OBX-a pitch bend issue

2013-11-12 by rob hukin

Hi All,

I have an OBXa in for repair that has that mod. It is two diodes (1N914 or similar) in parallel (opposing polarities) connected to the pot wiper. The wire that was connected to the pot wiper is then connected to other end of the diodes and this junction also has a 100k resistor to GND.

regards,
rob.
