the thermal insulation around Vr-5 breaks down and causes the PLL to unlock.

I can be repaired if you have the patience to pick all that stuff out, reinsulate it, and adjust the voltages.

IMO, if you don't get a GREAT price, then pass on it. YMMV

later add,......... what I said above doesn't sound right but, I don't have the info in front of me,........... for some reason VCO-20 sounds better than VR-5.

in fact, it seems to me that VCO-20 becomes thermally unstable and VR-5 needs to be adjusted after the VCO is re-insulated to lock the PLL.
