I thought you were in Britain (???!!) You probably hear the remnants of my accent from growing up in London.. California sure has more sunshine! I will post a copy of the service manual to you. PAIA is Oklahoma sells to the whole world and takes credit cards. I think they still sell those CEM3340 chips. Around $12 if I recall correctly.

Curtis chips can be obtained from the following sources: PAIA Electronics 3200 Teakwood Lane Edmund, Oklahoma 73013 (405) 340-6300 They stock the following subset of the Curtis range: CEM 3310 ADSR CEM 3320 VCF CEM 3330 DUAL VCA CEM 3340 VCO CEM 3360 DUAL VCA CEM 3379 Voltage Controled Signal Processor (4 pole low pass VCF, VCA, 2 chan VC pan) CEM 5508 OCTAL SAMPLE and HOLD all come with data sheets The chips are in fact manufactured by On-Chip systems, here is their address. Doug Curtis On-Chip Systems 1190 Coleman Ave. San Jose, CA 95110 (408)988-5400 (On-Chip systems have data sheets for the following:) CEM3310 CEM3312 CEM3320 CEM3328 CEM3330 CEM3335 CEM3340 CEM3350 CEM3365 CEM3372 CEM3374 CEM3378 CEM3379 CEM3387 CEM3389 CEM3391 CEM3394 CEM3396 The Curtis chips are probably the most stable for synthesiser applications, but remmember there are several different VCO chips: the 3340 is the most flexible, but there are other's, such as the 3374 dual VCO. DOn't know how stability compares between the different types, but there might be some difference. /Ricard -- Ricard Wolf / | \ / | /- email: ricard@axis.se Axis Communications AB /__| \/ | \__ uucp: axisab.se!ricard S - 223 70 LUND / | /\ | \ Tel: +46 46 19 18 63 SWEDEN / | / \ | \__/ Fax: +46 46 13 61 30 -- "Tesla Girls, Tesla Girls, testing out feelings" --
