Korg Poly800/EX800 Users

Well got given a non working Poly 800 mark 2 last week and couldnt just 
skip it so spent the weekend getting it going!! Went slightly past the 
get it going point and went a litle mad. The keyboard was completly 
smashed so i removed that and cut down the case to make a desktop midi 
module from the remains. Fitted the Moog slayer Res and Filter mod and 
i do have to say be very affraid of that, its seriously dangerous if 
you up the res setting : /...... Well just thought i would share my 
restoration so posted some pics in the Photos link ........

Welcome!

Wow! That is one cool mod you've done there! Talk about creative!

Now, depending on where you are geographically (and the postage), I
could really do with the keyboard cable assemblies. I have a Poly that
suffered a battery leak and the connectors that go to the keyboard
were corroded beyond repair. I would love to get my hands on a set for
a reasonable price.

Once again, welcome!

Mike.

Hi!

The cable for the keyboard is hard wired to the keyboard end and does 
not un-plug... was going to list all the spare parts on ebay that i 
had. Would let you have the keyboard PCD with cables connected for 
£15 if you wanted or i could remove the cable from the pcb which 
would leave you having to resolder it on...

Thanks for the offer, let me ask the group here and see if anyone here
in the US has what I'm after. If not, I'll email you offline and we
can work something out.

Thanks again,

Mike.
