i runned in some difficult erros in some TTSHs, here´s my experiences

Knowledge numbersymptomProbable error sourceProbability of occurrencepre checktestingworkaroundfixlessons learned
TTSH-1

VCO bleed (usage of frequency slider from one OSC influenced other VCOs frequency

or

Frequency range isn´t good enough

or

screaming VCO - weird frequency / instable Frequency

LFO/VCO switch (LF switch)80%

insert a stable v/oct signal

(doublecheck with other devices your v/oct signal)

press/push/wiggle the LF switch,

if you hear or measure a better result ->

 

heat up the 6 switch pins

normally a resolder/heatup fix the issue

 

the switch pins must be soldered with other soldercore or better heated/other solder tip.
TTSH-2all Slider LEDs are offTrimmer, LED Driver 

turn on the frontpanel (left hand) the LED trimmer clockwise,

check on the frontpanel side on the empty IC socket next that you bridged pin 6+7 and no IC is plugged inside the socket.

if not fixed: measure on the 5 pole powerheader all voltages

n/a  dont forget the jumper/bridge on pin 6-7
TTSH-3few Slider LEDs are offTrimmer, LED Driver50%

turn on the frontpanel (left hand) the LED trimmer clockwise,

the TTSH LEDs are connected in 6? chains and in each chain are all slider LEDs in series -

so you must check the correct LED polarisation (you can see the cathode/anode without demounting)

  swap the LED to correct orientationdont trust machines/roboter
TTSH-4all VCOs dont workVCO 4027 boards10%

are the VCO subboards correct mounted ? (check the board connectors)

are the CA3046 ICs inside ?

check the soldering of the board connectors

   solder all VCO conenctor pins before mounting the silders, add the CA3046 while mounting the connectors to the subboards
