Doepfer is his last name. Polite people will address him as Mr / Herr
Doepfer or with his first name Dieter if you're Anglo-Saxon / Scandinavian.
Just calling him 'Doepfer' is seriously rude.

Betreff: 1 Re: Can't trigger A-140 from A-190-2





Doepfer, I successfully replaced the A-190-2 defective Q1 with a new BC547B
transistor. Now the gate is working. But I think that the CV V/V is not
working. I didn't test it before. Is there a way to fix it

Thank you,

Sidney
