Probably. I was looking here: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/korgpolyex/files/2%29%20EX-800/Servicing/
In there it says the switches are no longer available. Is that still true? Is there an equivalent replacement part I can get? I can try to clean the existing ones and see what happens.
Apologies if I'm asking questions that have been answered a dozen times. It's hard to sift through 16 years of group discussion. Please point me to a FAQ, etc. if there is one and I'll stop blathering ;)

I bought some DeoxIT that arrived today, so I hit the pots with it, particularly the volume control. I let it dry for a while, closed it back up, and now it behaves like it's supposed to. The volume actually changes when you turn the knob, so hooray! I think this poor module must have seen some abuse (smoke?) because now I noticed that the program/parameter button isn't always registering. Ah well, the beauty of vintage synths, yeah? It's all good, I've been enjoying playing it.

Could just be that the tact switch has worn out. You can buy
replacements, and it's worth getting all of them out if you do one
because the rest won't be much better and they'll feel different.
