Re: Drawbar Dropout?

This happened on my first M-3.  When I examined the tone generator, I found 
that about 6 capacitors were *missing* from the TG at the right end (all 
Cs).  The organ had been donated to a high school, and the electronics class 
kids probably cannibalized it for parts. I threw some orange drops in and it 
screams!
