So I managed to complete my first replacement PCB. Things don't look too bad but it has a number (?) of problems that are a bit difficult to debug for me. Basically it runs somewhat unstable. Occasionally it will more or less reset itself or will exhibit some other behaviour which will explain in a second. Nearly all chips are new, except processor, LM13600's and RAM. All functionality is there; calibration was more or less successful. I haven't yet a battery installed. THe most common symptom at the moment is that some LED's on the KLM371 start to blink or that a number of LED's light up permanently (and others get turned off). This has happened with different KLM371's so I suspect the error to reside on the KLM367. Oddly enough often the sound isn't affected at all initially and the switches still work fine. I can call up other programs and other banks. Sometimes shortly (or several seconds after this) the LFO modulation is turned off (I have programmed this particular test sound to modulate the VCF). There might some other parameters change slightly as well; I have not yet narrowed this down completely. Sliding the LFO switch back and forth restores the modulation; so the actual LFO depth isn't affected, just the target. So, it appears to me (grain of salt...) that the parameters controlled by IC28/29/34/35 may be affected, but not the ones controlled by IC18/19 (post-DAC). This and the working switches leads me so far to the conclusion that the data lines D0 to D7 may not be the culprit here and that the problem could be related to lines P24 to P27. Could this be another "bad RAM" issue? My first salvaged RAM was definitely dead; it wouldn't store anything. The current one seems to work as far as storing goes.
