Discussion about the Korg PolySix synthesizer

Eeek!

I got my PS6 in 1995..... that was 8 years ago....
....so I guess even if the previous owner replaced the NiCd
battery,
it could be due a new one now anyways....?

I looked inside the other day,
it's got a RS (a UK electronics wholesaler) NiCd one in there,
plus a little bit of point-to-point wiring -
this makes me think that perhaps the original Korg NiCd
battery leaked and was replaced (and the board fixed up)
some time before I bought the PS6....

I keep the PS6 permanently powered up in my studio
to try and preserve the battery ...... last time it took a couple
of minutes for the LEDs to come on, it was when we'd been out
gigging
round Britain and it had been powered off for the best part of 48
hours...
.... bad sign, right...? :-/

I should replace it with a lithium one ASAP?
