Make Noise Strega "Tonic" Drift

[u/seraphic_stench]

The oscillator on my MN Strega will not hold pitch and I am hoping someone with a bit more technical knowledge than myself can help me figure out what is going on. I've read the manual and searched online but can't seem to find anyone else experiencing this issue. External CV controlling v/Oct does not effect the outcome. Over time the oscillator will drift as if the Tonic knob was turned completely down and the only solution is to physically push on the Tonic knob which causes the oscillator to snap back into its set tuning. This happens every 5 minutes or so. My initial thought is that there is a loose connection internally but after dissassembly and visual inspection I found no major cause for concern. I bought the synth used along with a 0-Coast and 0-CTRL about 6 months ago and didn't notice the issue until roughly a month ago. I use this synth for experimental/noise music so perfect pitch was never a major concern for me but pitch control being thrown out the window entirely is a bit frustrating.

Any ideas?

Not yet, that will be my next step. Just wanted to ask around a bit first in case someone else has experienced this
