[sdiy] Looking for Polymoog service manual/info

[Bob Weigel]

I got my manual from Mike Bucki.  Don't know if he has anymore.  It is a 
huge manual of course since there is just so much circuitry in those.  
Mine currently needs the "Fonzarelli Maneuvre" about every time I turn 
it on even after going through it and finding several bad interconnects 
along with a hose of actual chip problems and so on.  Thing sounds 
beautiful when it's working.  Bus so unreliable still.  Even after 
cleaning the card slots with deoxit, they still flake out now and then 
and it drops a note.  BIzarre.  Oh and I went over the solder on that 
entire board as well.  What a pain!  (I mean touching up all remotely 
suspicious joints. Not like..redoing every one of them..) -Bob
