Hi there all

I'm going to attempt to fix my Korg Monopoly synth that has developed a problem with the LFO circuit. I wonder if I could pick some brains as I have no idea why this is happening really.

I left the Korg on for about 2 days and I don't think it liked it. When I fired her up the next time when I adjust the LFO speed there is a noticeable 'clicking' or 'popping' sound with each increase.

I am guessing this is probably the capacitor gone bad? C6 for timing? Below is the schematic, the LFO circuit can be found on page six upper right hand corner and is entitled 'MG1'

Many thanks, if anyone has pointers in how to diagnose or proceed they are much welcomed.

Gareth
