Discussion about the Korg PolySix synthesizer

Hi,

you managed it to replace the IC\ufffds? I\ufffdve done it 10 Times and it won\ufffdt
work-program buttons are o.k., but no sound and no reaction from the
knobs (i\ufffdve also changed the A/D-Converter which SHOULD manage those
functions)...

Sh*t, i have TWO Polysix defect bought and BOTH would need a new
Mainboard (was it KLM-367?). Korg doesn\ufffdt produce it anymore, i found
noone who can really repair those two defect boards-i have no plan if it
is a broken wire, a defect IC, maybe the main processor is defect...so,
now i have two Polysix and i never heard a tone from them-strange, eh?

Do you know a source for replacement-parts? 

Greetings

Stef
