i still have no idea how to fix my theremin. The problem is that the pitch antennae is essentially reversed -- as my hand gets closer, the pitch gets lower instead of higher. If I turn my intonation nob as far as it goes in one direction, it switches to normal (closer = higher), except that all three octaves are condensed into about 6 inches. No good.

I haven't really done much to try and find a solution, but i do want to do this an wondered if anyone here might give me some clues.

its an etherwave.

Thanks!!!!

incidentally, I tried to post this as "help" but it got filed under another "help." This board be whack. And we need a lot of help, it seems.

Carl - It sounds like your Etherwave needs adjustment. The information you need to re-tune your pitch circuit is in the "hot-rodding" manual. Didn't you get one with your Etherwave? The manual has the instructions and the schematics and printed circuit board layout (to help you find the adjustable inductors(coils)).
Unfortunately the links to the information on the Moog site are dead. I can send you the PDF file (1.5 mb) if you send your email address to me at jupiter2@thereminworld.com
