Thanks for the reply. I was talking to a friend with similar interests last night, and he suggested the exact same thing. I will purchase the chip this weekend and hopefully revive my Juno to it's former glory. Thanks again.

I have a Juno 106 that is in excellent physical condition, my only problem is that I'm getting some unintentional static on certain voices. I've tried different cables (I get the same static out of the headphone jack, by the way), had the jacks, pots, and circuit board cleaned and tested and...

I have a Fostex R8 1/4" 8-track. Everything works great except for one problem. The flange of the take-up reel rubs against the tape and is quite noisy during play or record (15ips). I've tried several different reels, metal and plastic, new and used, but I still get at least a slight rubbing...
