Hello:have you looked at the keyswitch contact under the note that is stuck playing,it might be a simple repair just to align a flipped or bent keyswitch contact.

Subject: [vintagesynthrepair] Looking for Mini-Moog tech...

Looking for a Mini-Moog tech somewhere within 50 or so miles from the Glens Falls, NY area. Anybody nearby that repairs Mini-Moogs?

Symptoms, everything but the keyboard notes works. Pitch wheel changes pitch, keyboard trigger note on / off, envelopes, filter, good, etc. but stuck on only one note throughout the entire keyboard range. I cleaned circuit boards and mod/pitch wheel connector -- that's about the scope of my ability -- but no improvement.

Will drive to you place. Can drop off or wait if its a quick-n-easy repair. Any takers?

Thanks

Greg in Glens Falls

There's a constant current source in series with the keyboard resistor chain .. if that circuit has failed that would do the trick. Actually, so would a broken wire near the connector between the keyswitch matrix and the keyboard circuit. There's a separate contact under each key that generates the trigger; at least you know that the connector is plugged in, or you wouldn't see a trigger. Maybe a little poke around with a meter would find the problem?

All I can say was that it was working fine about 10 years ago when I put it in it's case and stored in the attic and now it's not.  I thought there was a guy on this list who lived nearby in Vermont. Maybe not.
