After a few weeks of vacation I finally got to replace the vactrols in my Nautilus and now it works like a charm
I can't find the thread where I read that the C2 vactrols could be used as well, but in any case that's NOT true...

Thanks! I'll replace the vactrols and see if it helps...

Hi all,
I'm having problems getting my Nautilus to work properly and browsing older posts I did't find a solution yet...
I'm getting sound and a filtering effect on one side of the range mode (when the LED is not lit, but lights up with the effect) but when I turn open the sweep pot and/or the gain pot I get internal feedback noise, as if there were a feedback loop or no sound at all (with the LED lit up constantly). When I switch the range switch (LED lit, filter diminishing light), the effect doesn't work at all, only more of this feedback noise or no sound at all.

I'm using the VTL5c2 vactrols since I read these would work as well and they were the only ones available at the time. I will order the VTL5c3's as well, but I think the problem is elsewhere if people seem to have get it to work fine with the VTL5c2

I checked for solder bridges, re-flown solder, double checked orientation of all caps, diodes, IC's and wiring of pots and switches, but all seems fine. I still have to check voltages...

Anyone have any idea where else to look?

thanks a lot for your help!!
