Vintage Synth Repair

I had the same problem on my Micomoog and found that somebody had 
already put a resistor in front of the trimpot. Still the range 
wasn´t big enough. I put a bigger resistor in front of the trimpot 
(some trial and error to find the right one) and: it´s working!!!

(I´m not an expert in this so I can´t promise that it works)
