Probably. I was looking here: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/korgpolyex/files/2%29%20EX-800/Servicing/

In there it says the switches are no longer available. Is that still true? Is there an equivalent replacement part I can get? I can try to clean the existing ones and see what happens.


Apologies if I'm asking questions that have been answered a dozen times. It's hard to sift through 16 years of group discussion. Please point me to a FAQ, etc. if there is one and I'll stop blathering ;)

I bought some DeoxIT that arrived today, so I hit the pots with it, particularly the volume control. I let it dry for a while, closed it back up, and now it behaves like it's supposed to. The volume actually changes when you turn the knob, so hooray! I think this poor module must have seen some abuse (smoke?) because now I noticed that the program/parameter button isn't always registering. Ah well, the beauty of vintage synths, yeah? It's all good, I've been enjoying playing it.
