Last year my old Mono/Poly hadn´t been turned on for some years 
and was completely dead. I tracked the problem to a pcb connector that 
just needed a little massage. Luckily because removing the PCB is some 
work.
It´s a well constructed synth and I used to think that an EG was an EG 
until I turned on the MOTM-800 the first time. On the paper "just 
another EG" but my compliments to Paul. The 800 is a really good EG. 
On the Korg (and a lot of other synths) you have fast, middle and slow 
(more or less) but the 800 really gives you all the inbetweens.
Well, I´m getting CV and gate from the Korg and I´m about to build in 
some buffers so I get Modwheels and LFO´s out of it too. Hope it´ll 
work some more years, its a nigthmare to track down malfunctioning 
electrolytics and other stuff.
