Hi all,
Well I recently dug out my old 1982 Korg Polysix. It is dead a long time ago. Sure enough the original (Varta) battery is still there and left some corrosion on the circuit board. Doesn't seem that much. I didn't want to remove it with a soldeing iron because there are important componments very close to it, so I just removed some of the traces of the corrosive liquid with household cleaning paper.
The problems started already some six (!) years after I purchased the stynth back in the day: key contact problems, failing switches and problems with pots (noisy and failing).
I am located in Lisbon, Portugal. Any idea if I can wake up this little gem from the dead again? Where can I get components and is there an expert near me?
Any reply much appreciated,
Christian
