Reverse-Engineered! - Elka F000445

Mar 8, 2025

Reverse-Engineered! is an article series where I look at random small pieces of electronics.

What is it

The ELKA F000445 is a flute filter.

I was able to find references to these parts being used in the Elka Artist 707.

7 different variants of this circuit have been used 3 times each for a total of 21 of these PCBs in each instrument.

Why do I have it and where did I get it from

This PCB is one of many analog synthesizers and organ parts I acquired at an auction about 15 years ago.
