If never seen an actual unit, but based on the controls names and layout, compared to the schematics I'm looking at . . .

Sorta, the core of the console is a modified P4, the panel is a custom job. I've not seen an original P4 either, however I do have a pic of one around here somewhere. I have the schematics, but a manual would be awesome, any way I could get a copy or borrow it from you?

Speaking of the schematics...

You can make one for yourself with off the shelf modular synth modules. www.oakleysound.com I built a full "moog type" modular from these modules. Tried them on laser and the work well but they output 10v p-p so you have to do a little work setting the output right. I happen to have 8 osc so I was able to dedicate some to color as well as x/y. It was fun but what you get in software these days is just as good or better and much smaller. It however was an enjoyable evening of tinkering. If you ever get a chance to play with digisynth, it is very similar to a console.

The documentation I have is old, of course. I'll try to scan them this weekend and see how they turn out.

zip file containing scanned doc & schematics attached. Hope it helps.

Thanks for taking the time to scan the manual, looking forward to reading thru it. I'll probably re-type the manual to clean it up a bit and will send you a copy back.

One step closer! I managed to get one of the VCQO's wired up and I'm getting a very nice sine/cosine out of it! The bottom pic shows an original VCQO board along with the new, much smaller layout of a VCQO.
