Discussion about the Korg PolySix synthesizer

Hi guys,

Having built up confidence to look at Old Crow's 'fix your poly6' 
pages with a screwdriver in my hand...I lost my nerve:)

So, I have my tame eletronics expert (degree in ElecEng and a wizz 
with the soldering iron) have a look. Battery change went well - five 
hours, one evening and it was fixed...

...well fixed-ish! Apparently someone had 'fixed' it before and 
someone else (possibly the same miscreant) had stored the beastie in 
a damp room... so one l-o-n-g weekend later, and I have been informed 
that my SSM 2044 chip's gone. Well, I say 'gone' - it's sat in front 
of me as I type this, looking sad and dejected.

Bottom line - how easy is it to get a new SSM 2044 chp? (Please 
say 'easy-peasy'!!!)

Frank

I've found a guy in USA selling six SSM 2044 chips on eBay. I 
obviously only need one, so if anyone is interested in some or all of 
the remaining five, I'll be happy to accept offers (so PLEASE don't 
bid against me, otherwise we all lose out!!!)

cheers

Frank
