Vintage Synth Repair

thanks much, antoine. good to know mouser has them. the synth is an
arp 2600. the current owner i am purchasing from had the synth looked
over by phil cirocco, and he said the transformer is causing voltage
drift over time, so assuming the part is reasonable, im gonna start
with that and then see if the problem still exists.
