Photo the heck out of it before or during disassembly (I know too late) for
when you realize one went in backwards because you were tired and you can't
find the polarity mark on the board.  Also I would replace all power
regulators if you are going that intense as they take a lot of heat and wear
and tear.  Lorne in Canada

Thanks for the answer. :) I have disassemled the synth completely and I'm in
the process of mapping out all the capacitors I need. There are about 100
electrolytics in this synth, hopefully I will not break anything in the
process of replacing. I will let you know how it went later.
