Vintage Synth Repair

I think I got this from that CEM3374 site. I'm posting an alternative link:

umich.edu/~damont/Freeman_String_SM 2.pdf

Have your tech check the stacked circuit boards for broken joints first. On mine, they were all sagging in the middle, and the joints had cracked causing all sort of problems. Actually... has anyone done anything to address this design problem on their machines? I've never seen such board sag.. it's like they are made of cardboard.  I guess just adding some more standoffs in the middle of the boards would help.

Also - I don't think that all of the octaves are supposed to work for all of the voices. So... if you think that's a problem with the machine, it may not be. I'm not actually sure about this... but I think it's correct.

best,

DT
