OB-6 - closeups

I got some incredibly nice closeup pics of the OB-6 voice card (and parts of the mainboard) from a friend of a friend. They make it really easy to figure out what is going on. You can clearly see the thermistor in the VCO expo converter for example, as well as laugh a little about the fact that they use coolaudio chips (Behringer, remember?). 

Pro tip: Use http://www.smdmark.com to figure out what chips are used from their markings!

Here they are:

Coolaudio V2164 quad expo VCAs. Great little chip.



TL064 all the way!

Top left - the green chip with '33' on it is the thermistor, the K4A is a dual 3904 transistor used as an expo converter

DACs, those are AD5668 8 channel 16 bit dacs

Voice card slots. Notice the HCT4051 CV multiplexers in between.
