AW: [vintagesynthrepair] What is most likely to blow?

2002-06-07 by Hintraeger Reinhard

Hello Ethan!
This is hard to say, because it depends on the quality of the circuit design and the components.
But my experience with old analog synths is, that especially OpAmps are due to failure. For example,
up to now I had to replace about 7 or 8 MC 1458 OpAmps in my Polymoog and several others in synths
like Korg MS 20, Micromoog and Prodigy.
Good luck for you VCF-repair!
Cheers
Reinhard

Betreff: [vintagesynthrepair] What is most likely to blow?

In an 25 year old VCF circuit
that operates on 15V, what is
most likely to fail? A cap,
transistor, diode, or OpAmp?

Thanks,

Ethan
