Roland Juno-106 repair (VCA)

Roland Juno-106 repair by Cavisynth

A friend brought me a magnificent Juno-106 in an aesthetic state but with a problem:
The sounds get stuck, and some notes have a rotting sound.
I first thought of a digital problem then by searching a little on the WEB, I quickly thought of a voice problem via VCA.

And that was it, after a test, channels 2 and 6 are defective.

Probably due to a known and recurring problem on the Juno-106: the resin around the VCA / VCF 80017A circuits has aged badly and creates bad contacts.
I then decide to desolder the n ° 2 & 6, then to strip them.
