Shiznit!
Now I´m worried about my A-100, cause it also has a little brown liquid
(already dried) on the inner back side of the frame. I suppose that´s
because I had the modular running with an overloaded my PSU for a few
months. Normally the PSU should provide 650mA, but my modules consumed
then minimum 700 mA. One side-effect was unstable VCOs, might the brown
sauce in the case be another For god´s sake nothing else happended.
(Unlike my old organ where a dry electrolyt capacitor exploded afew
years ago... first a boom, then lots of smoke... but that´s another
story ;-)

cheers,
paul
