OK ok,

So I opened her up to check for an internal battery, but could not
find one as described in the 8000...there does look to be a battery
maybe though, it looks like blue bumbpy barrel on it's side, BUT I
have no clue about electronics at all...but check this out! When I
closed her back up and powered her back up, when i pressed a key I
heard a tone! I messed around for a while and programmed her for a
bit. Got this awesome gnarly distorted bass that rocked the
arppegiator, then after a while it started to spazz out. Like the
tone would start distorting and changing, which was kind of cool, BUT
was way uncontrollable that it's frusterating. It would go away by
tapping the top of the synth in various places, but keeps coming
back. I opened her up a second time to see if maybe I could find a
short or something, but looks good to me. Closed her back up and she
is still unstable, at times cool, but then wacks out. It's almost as
though the poly-61 is deamon possessed. Any suggestions, or should I
just pray this one through, or should I take it to my tech?

much respect,

aaron
