Hello Karl,

before you replace the BBD chip I'd recommend to measure the clock output (center top socket). It should output a rectangle in the frequency range about 10 kHz ... 200 kHz when the delay clock control is operated from 0 to 10. It could be also another range (e.g. about 15 kHz to 300 kHz) but about 1:20 frequency relation. If that's not the case probably the high speed VCO is defective (built around CA3096/LM13700). In this case I'd recommend to replace the CA3096 and LM1700. If the clock output is OK probably the BBD chip has to be replaced.

Best wishes
Dieter Doepfer
