Some "information" on the CL-1 diode that I found here:
http://electro-music.com/forum/viewtopic.php?highlight=901&t=46468

Probably a generic (silicon) rectifier would be fine as the author says (not a germanium 1N34)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Node "A" on the base of Q7 goes to "A" on the connector

I'm guesting that "TPA" is "Test Point A" on a transistor matching schematic in a 901 service manual (like in the Minimoog SM, but that one is measuring Vbe for match.) The note is referring to Q8 and Q9.

Good luck,
Tom

Yeah...11.98 volts...I have coffee now
