Hi Keith - 
The problem I'm having is: 2 of the 4 oscillators don't sound....right. They sound like 
they're out of phase; i.e. you can still hear them, they're just very "thin" and quiet. I let the 
machine warm up for several hours recently and one of the "lost" oscillators came back 
briefly. Other than that, it's just tuning and calibration; everything else works.

Can you do it? I will drive the unit to you. Sure as hell beats shipping it anywhere.

Thanks -
