It depends on the rev. If yours in an earlier one it has 4 smaller RAM chips. Doug synthparts.com

Thanks Doug.. Chips... plural? I thought there was only one 6116... Is that not correct? Sincerely, Rich Clarke

It looks like somebody replaced the +5v rectifier (which, when stock, overheats and dies easily) with a more robust one with better current ability. I would

This is a very common mod and actually recommended for OB-8s. The existing 5V rectifier was too small so a larger one is highly recommended..Here s an even

looks like they were having trouble with the power supply and moved that rectifier off the board due to heat or trace damage possibly. NEW ALLIANCE EAST!!!!

The rectifiers (off board, and with heat sinks) were probably attempts at improvements on the notoriously underrated W02M rectifiers that are standard on most

How does it sound if you don t hit autotune? That is, if you power it up from dead cold and let it sit for a half hour, is it pretty much in tune on it s own,

Clearly something in the autotune circuitry is not working. There is a comparator that gets fed one voice at a time. The comparator output is used to gate

If you search for Linn 9000 schematic, you will find it quickly.I just downloaded it. Unfortunately, the scan of the processor page is pretty bad.

Although it is possible to control individual parameters to the Matrix via Sysex, there is no way to read out parameter values. It s just not in the firmware.
