just got a junker...

2014-10-11 by ftyjytjdrtjy@yahoo.com

just got a rather bad shape poly 6 for $100.

1. powers up.
2. some keys sound.
3. battery has not rotted.
4. makes one sound and no pots work.
5. all switches work/light up.

Insides look great, rear is SMASHED but intact.
Volume pot is shot, (need to press down on it to make it work)

Questions:

FACT: I am unskilled at soldering past a high school level.

My thought was to order a factory battery because I cant jumper diodes and voltages on the charging mod on the coin slot lithium battery mod.

My thoughts were to attempt fixezs on the basic level.

If I cant get it working perfect then start desoldering the chips and sell them after I test they work.
