Vintage Synth Repair

Hi there,

this is my first post to the group and I would like to ask you a Oberheim 
related question.

I own an old Oberheim OB-8, whose voices are not functioning properly. With 
the help of the downloaded service manual I checked for the oscillator 
calibration and found out, that one or more VCO's do not function properly.

The manual
( http://home.swipnet.se/cfmd/synths/companies/oberheim/ob8-sm-8.jpg )
reads like this:

"If both test LED's are off, or seem to be flashing randomly, then this 
oscillator is not functioning properly and should be repaired or replaced."

Does anybody know, HOW I can repair a malfunctioning Oberheim voice 
oscillator? Which parts (IC's) must I replace?

You can find the service manual, schematics, parts-list etc. at

Thanks for your help,

Randy.
