He has sold a lot of NOS CEM's. I've bought some from him for spares- but haven';t tried them actually.

Hi,Well you are right. It must be the chip. I have seen them come up on ebay occasionally.Maybe someone has a spare they can sell you. At least you can turn the voice off for the time being.Do a gog search, you might find one at a repair shop somewhere.Karl

Hi Karl
Thanks for your answer. Yes I am pretty sure. Voice No. 4 died completely (no sound at all, the tunig fails immediately) . I started swapping the chips and that is the one that does not work (if I swap it with another voice, i.e. 5, then that one no longer works but 4 is fine again etc).
Haven't heard that these chips fail often but here it seems the case. The unit is in very good condition otherwise, I bought it some months ago from US.
Lovely lovely machine I do hope I will be able to use all 6 voices again.
Regards
flo
