Thanks for the input. My name is Joby Springsteen and I am currently in the Binghamton NY area but I am open to possibly moving to a new area. When it comes to where I would want to relocate, I don't know really. This was just kind of a feeler to see where I might find some possibilities. I'll check...

Hello I am currently a student in an Electrical Engineering Technology program. I will be graduating with my associates in the spring and I am trying to figure out where to go. I dont think continuing directly full-time to get a bachelors is right for me and I am trying to find a resource for possib...

a strange thing i noticed. the schematic in the keyboard notes that all transistors are 1 of 2 different ones but looking at them they dont match either of those and are all 1 of 3 different ones c536e, c536d, or c537e. it doesnt look like things have been changed in it but the schematic is wrong. s...

at least it sounds reasonable haha

there is probably someone i can get some feedback from in my area

yea i found that on the site. i went through that process.
The f plays the same octave note on each f key
and the a# is barely audible and gets less so going down the octaves

so possible the oscillator for the A# and the divider for the F maybe?

ive seen that site before, ill try and dig a bit deeper.

with what you are saying, is it generally the transistors that go bad or something else in the tone generator?

Hey there! I'm currently refurbishing a Teischord C keyboard for a friend and im having a few issues. I recapped the boards which improved the output quite a bit but F and A# are not working properly. all of the A# keys play a barely audible not that is way too high in pitch the F keys were playing ...

ok cleaning the pots and the rotary switch seemed to help a lot. the eq is very responsive now. the transistor seemed to check out ok with the voltages across it and the solder joints on the caps are good.
thanks a lot.

also for future reference, how did you go about boosting the gain in your unit?

i will check those things out thanks.

no worries, i know its hard for me to remember and be clear of all of what ive done or checked

The reverb is fine, its only the echo thats quiet.

What about the echo pot? I've checked the internal level pot and its cranked already. The external pot seems to function properly.

fair enough haha but yes
ive been trying to get it louder in high. but doesnt that switch lower the volume of everything?
the issue here is only the repeats, the dry signal is easily heard and still very present even when the echo volume is all the way up

hey there everyone. I registered here a few years ago but i dont think i ever posted. anyway I have a friends re-201 in my possession currently with an issue. The volume of the delay repeats has become really quiet. Im not sure how quickly this came about but he got some info from shane at echofix.c...
