Discussion about the Korg PolySix synthesizer

*sniff*... fixed the traces, ran without the battery, i couldn't 
find any reason why not to within the service schematics, besides i 
hardly ever save a patch, like the spontenaity of things.  Alas she 
didn't even chirp, didn't smoke, nothing...  it's now 3:48am... see 
what the afternoon brings when i get up?... any suggestions anyone?

She sounded like a good board when she was sick.  She's just dead 
now..
