Circuit Overview:
     Analog subtractive similar to OBX in some ways but condensed circuitry using the Curtis chips.

Service Tips:
     As with OB-8 I assume there are likely problems that can happen in the digital realm. VCO chips fail sometimes.

Parts:
Aside from some of the Curtis chips and maybe CPU I stock everything all the time electronically. I've gotten the chips when needed from other techs or off ebay. Knobs may be difficult to find exact replacement. The switches are available from analogdiehard@att.net I hear.
