Upgrade service?

2008-07-31 by korgpolyex800

I've received several requests to do some the HAWK-800 upgrade as well
and I have directed those people to their local music store or
electronics shop to find someone to do it for them.

I am toying with the idea of putting some AtomaHawk-800 modified
Poly's up on my website for sale. But I can't do that until I get the
AtomaHawk finished. If demand is great enough, I MAY consider doing a
return upgrade service. But it would be limited to the US only.

When the AtomaHawk is finished and ready for the Poly public, it may
be worth getting a list of technicians together that become part of a
world wide Poly upgrade community.

Mike.
