Six leaking C cells, a leaking lithium cell, not much of the silver finish left on the case, the label around the joystick is all messed up. This is probably a good candidate for a rack unit, assuming I can actually get the KLM-596 working again. I've never seen a lithium cell split and leak like that. I need the keys for a Polysix I'm working on anyway. Have you checked around to see who has suitable rack cases?Thanks,Don B.

Subject: [korgpolyex] 1RU HAWK-800R PCB's have been orderedYesterday, I ordered ten of each of the display and keypad boards that will be used to create a 1RU version of the Poly-800.
The boards should be manufactured and delivered within three weeks.
I'll let you all know how they work out when they get here.
I ordered ten straight up and that will mean we'll have some available for the early adopters almost as soon as I get them.
Out of interest, how many owners would be interested in converting their Poly-800, MK1, MK2 or Ex-800 into a single 1RU unit?
The display will be a backlit LCD. All the buttons and pots will be on the front along with a head phone jack and power switch.
I could do the boards as a DIY kit that you then use to create your own rack unit (you source the rack box yourself and drill holes using a template). Or, I could do the whole rack unit as an entire end to end solution. That would probably end up being quite expensive.
So without worrying about that detail, how many of you would actually like to convert your Poly into a single rack unit if you could?
Mike.
