I purchased a Polaris off the analog list less than a year ago. The thing is in almost perfect shape except that it appears two of the oscillators won't come in tune. The auto-tune says they are, but they aren't. You can tell when you play a scale, the 5th and 6th notes will just be off by a couple of tones. The guy who had it before said he just shut off those oscillators when he used it, but that tends to take a way a bit of the polyphony. Now, some people have told me the problem is the row of caps. I pulled it apart, saw then, priced them etc. But I don't want to resolder a bunch of these things (I think there were twelve) and then find out it didn't make a difference. Also, the machine seems to have "forgotten" everything. There are no presets, or patches, or anything. I assume those can be reloaded? I can do basic repairs myself (i.e. replace caps), on the other hand, I'm not adverse to sending it to someone if they actually know what they're doing. Any advice? --Tom
