VICMOD Looking for New Members
via Ross"We are currently looking for new members to join VICMOD.
We are a group of 12 people at the moment we build Ken Stone/ Elby Design modular synth modules in eurorack format. We meet once a month.
Most of us didnt know how to solder until we started the group, we have to date built Steiner Filter, Utility LFO, Super Psycho LFO etc soon Cynare, BiNTic etc....When we have nothing to build we bring in synths and jam :-)
If you live in Melbourne Australia and would like to part of this community please contact me.
here are some VICMOD photos

Oberheim - Viscount OB12 Display Fix
Ian posted this on the OB12 list. I asked him if I could post it here for anyone else that might run into the problem over time. He gave the OK.
"I had a problem with the display back light flickering. I opened the synth up by removing the five screws on the base panel situated under the wooden end pieces on each side of the keyboard, the three screws under the ribbon controller and the five screws at the bottom of the rear panel. I found this easiest to do by resting the synth on its side in an armchair in the living room! (I also needed my wife to hold it open at one end as certain wiring prevents opening completely!). Once inside I found that there was a small white 4-pin connector (situated roughly under the effects section of the front panel) that fed a wire into the back of the display which was very loose fitting. I just cut a very thin piece of selotape 10mm x 2.5mm approx and stuck the two parts of the connector firmly together. This has cured the flickering and the display is much brighter. The connector was so loose that I would not be surprised if some just fall off altogether if the synth is moved [regularly]. It only took about 20 minutes to fix altogether."

Annoying synth neighbor
