Vintage Synth Repair

Oooops! I'm sorry I just noticed they don't have the Axxe listed as a 
synth that
they repair. You could also try synthfool.com although I believe he's 
booked up
for the year. Your Axxe probably needs a complete restoration. Go ahead and do
it-you won't be sorry!

kind regards,

dizz

>> again -- without being restricted to "VCA Gain" mode!
>>
>> Regrettably, I have no mechanical aptitude whatsoever. And I should

>> Thanks in advance for any advice--
