Hey thanks for that.... but I'm already sorted.
I built a couple of the one's CZ pointed me to.... and they are ideal...!
Cheers,
Tom

@ fyvewytches, thank you so much for this link. I was actually trying to find schematics for CP-251 for a long time and this is the closest I’ve come so far. @noddyspuncture, it’s amazing to see that you’ve got a work around from CZ, it’ll be really great if you can point me in the right direction as well since I’m in a similar situation as you. Would it be possible for you to please post some pictures and information about the circuit you built and what tuning parameters you used?

Hi, yeah sure.

I built this circuit: http://www.synthfool.com/ebay/revattnnabag2.jpg

But I needed a 'finer' control, not as extreme end-to-end, so what I did was change the pot's value to a lower one - say 1K (instead of 10K) and I also placed a couple of 5K trimmers either end of the track... so for my purpose the pot only varies the tuning by around +/- 5 semitones.

I used trimmers so that I could centre the pot and then trim in the 'dead' zone - ie: zero output.

And it works really well...;c)

Cheers,
Tom

noddyspuncture, I tried to find the service manual and found that link: http://www.manualsdir.com/manuals/27967 ... tml?page=3.
Hopefully it will work for you.

Kevin actually designed that circuit while working on my four space module. I really miss him. :cry:
