Vintage Synth Repair

Thanks for the quick reply Mike. But no, the ground lug on the reset sockets isn't actually wired! And when I touch the 'live' tip to a known ground point it still doesnt reset!
Strange eh?
Any other ideas would be much appreciated...;c)

So say for example I want to have an eight note sequence and then pull the cord and put it into the seventh channel to make the next run a seven note sequence, I am finding that as I pull the cord and change sockets - the sequence is interrupted and starts from the beginning...! Not the desired effect. Does anyone know why this is happenng and if there is a work around fix for it..?
