Shielding Issue in Minimoog

Post by dzlvs8 » Sun Jan 30, 2011 4:27 am

I have bad oscillator bleeding problems. Since my last post about this, I have calibrated the synth, performed the moog recommend way to get rid of bleeding (replace resistor with jumper wire), cleaned all board contacts, checked all connections and solder points everywhere, and I have tried running a thick gauge ground wire from the rectifier board to the oscillator board.

....What else can I do? When playing high notes the bleeding is extremely distracting. Here are the exact symptoms PLEAAAASE let me know if any recommendations that you may have. Thanks. I love this thing but right now my only choice for playing this right now is to get a compressor pedal.

My bleeding occurs with all oscillators and does not change at all when I turn any knob or throw any switch.
The oscillators are all audible before I hit any notes.
The osciillators that are off and bleeding sound even louder when a note is pressed.
The bleeding volume increases with volume knob increases.
All outputs yield the same result.
I want to thing that this is some sort of shielding issue or there is some other mod I can do where I add in another resistor somewhere to quiet it down, but I have never heard of this being a problem.
