[sdiy-interim] Polymoog salvage advice

[Bob Weigel]

btw where does hongkongsuperseller get those 726's they sell for 14 
bucks or whatever?  I want to say in the voice of bones "Put away your 
butcher knives..and let me save this synth!". hehe.  I dumped so much 
time into my polymoog and I need to go through and just replace a bunch 
of interconnects.  And think of a way to keep the card bay connecting 
all the time.  Notes drop out still and also there was some problem with 
inverse phasing (not just being trekky...there really was.  When I'd 
raise the volume on one section it seemed to be having a cancelling 
effect on another.  I've got the docs..just no time until I get a few 
more things done here. )   I love these machines when they are working 
right though.  I paid 100 for mine and with the hours I put into 
it..good grief... I couldn't recoop the hours at what I usually like to 
make on this sort of thing.  They rarely sell for over 1000.  Of course 
maybe they would in nice shape now. You don't see them real often at 
all.  -Bob
