Teisco SX-400 problems

Post by radek tymecki » Thu Feb 27, 2014 4:49 pm

I have it for 2 years now. everything worked cool. Today i powered it on and nothing. No sound, preset buttons have no effect, LEDs on left section [vco] are switchable. all diodes except presets are lit. what can be wrong? service manual is not helpful here :)
