AW: [vintagesynthrepair] Is there anyone in the Chicago area that can help me with a Poly 61?

2002-03-13 by Hintraeger Reinhard

Hello!
As I'm not in your vicinity (living in Germany) I'll not be able to lay hands on your Poly 61,
but I can tell you theres in fact an internal battery. It's an accumulator battery 3.6 volts / approximately 180mAh. If your Poly 61 loses it's sound after switching it off, you can be sure that this battery is worn out. Anyone with a soldering iron will be able to replace it. the battery is availabel in any electronic components stor and will only cost you a few dollars.
Glad to help you in further matters,
Regards
Reinhard Hintraeger

I was given a Poly 61 but I was told it needs an internal battery of
sorts? Does that make sense to anyone? The person I got it from told
me not to fix it myself. I am guessing it is not an easy task. If
anyone could help me that would be great.
