[sdiy] Any tips for "restoring" mini-korg (or any synth from the 70s)?

[Graham Atkins]

If it is working and you are not experienced (Or have the right  
equipment)
in component removal don't  touch it........wait until it goes wrong  
then
worry about it. It is very easy to damage tracks on older PCB's, it  
isn't
worth the risk.
