It’s not difficult to obtain an obscene amount of?
ig00151 ICs cheaply, if you are willing to kill off certain electone organ models. At least one model also has the VCFs (but not many). A kind soul in Montreal pointed me to this solution via this list many years ago….
Whatever happened to Old Crow’s project where he was actually making new?replacement?ICs (or at least M boards) for the CS series? Does anyone know?
Also - I agree about not replacing things that do not need to be replaced. But are there any parts that are time bombs that could potentially take out huge sections of a CS? I have a CS that got blown up in a recording studio years ago. Something went wrong and some diodes in the PSU went and then took out a lot of ICs on my M-boards along with them. I have this synth working now, and it has all new caps in the PSU and some new diodes, but I’m nervous about what might do similar damage next time...
best,
DT
