I would think the modulation wheels are moving potentiometers. If they are, verify that the wheel isn't held on by a set screw. If it is the screw may be...
Thanks for the tip! I had a good look at the mechanism last night but it seems to be sound. I'm convinced this is electronic. It fails the same way every time...
