In the midst of my Omni project I decided to start re-capping the Opus. When I got it it was infested with mouse shite and nests so I did the "Kevin Lightner method" and washed all the boards. I'm getting note release issues on certain keys and noticed the electrolytics that are in the keying circuit are looking dried out. Won't take long to replace, and the late Moog boards are probably the easiest ones to get components out of for sure.
I recapped the Chorus board already. I've actually never really heard of anyone recapping an Opus 3 but I figured 49 keys, 49 caps... I'll start there. I also wonder if when I washed the boards if I somehow did any damage or caused the lytics to somehow dry out...

Re: Moog Opus 3 cap replacements
Update:
Re-capped the entire synth, 49 keying capacitors, filter cap, all the caps on the main/pot board, chorus board. Problem solved.
Sounds better/fuller now also.
