The Kawai & Teisco Analog Synths Group

Have you ever opened it up and checked for battery leakage ??

This may be the cause. Do it now. Check if it has leaked and in any 
case replace it. Has it leaked I guess you have some traces ruined by 
the leaking acid... You'll have to take it to a professional to 
recover it.
