Re: moog prodigy modification / repairs !! (cross-posted)

2005-11-24 by robert andrew scott

After finding this image:
http://www.pmerecords.com/Docs/ProdigyPCBLayoutsAll.jpg

. . I've determined that I have the earlier version of the Prodigy. 
Also, I've got my Audio Input working perfectly..

I still could use any advice  on the Filter Control Input, the 
switch issue, and on the FM filter mod (which is trickier on the 
earlier models, apparently)..


Thanks a lot !
