Question about Cat osc stability

2006-07-04 by Adam McKinley

Hi,

I recently acquired an Octave cat (non SRM).

My Cat has really horrible oscillator stability. It squirms while holding notes. Sometimes it even will plummet down several octaves like a slow glide, or as if following an envelope release.
It definitely is way out of tune across the keyboard.
The question is whether you think a tuning will fix my Cat or if there is likely something more serious is involved?

I\u2019m preparing to clean and tune the unit as I write this.
The Cat is completely disassembled. It appears that it may never have been opened and/or re-tuned before.

Thanks for your time,
Adam
