Re: FA Poly800 manual

2002-11-12 by Mike Walters

Hey Thanks, Peter. I didn't know that pdf existed! See, I sold my X5D 
to a friend, and I couldn't find the damned manual anywhere. There 
was one on ebay lastweek, but I was sniped. I was beaten by my game.

Anyway, sorry for the OT post. I normally don't post here, but I am 
about to rekindle my Poly800. I have a parts board on its way. Then 
I'll have my original synth back to its former glory! Then I'll mod 
and paint it. You can take the circuit away from the bender, but you 
can't take the bender out of the circuit. That made absolutley zero 
sense......

I have to replace the back up battery since it's been sitting for so 
long. Does anyone know what battery to get off hand? No big deal, I 
can unsolder the dead one to find out.

Also, I can't say exactly which, but there is an IC with a wire 
soldered between 2 pins. I bought the poly used 10 years ago, so I 
assume it was some after market mod. Does anyone know anything about 
that? Again, I don't have the board in front of me, so I can't say 
which IC it was.

-Mike
