wow : ) mikael u are a true genius !...thanks for taking time to write in...

im a hack of sorts and have done much soldering ,
unsoldering,, pcb drilling, caps,resistor,,(using the desolderirng ribbon/wick)
all in order for equipment to sustain operations....
latest project was resurrecting a casio vz-10m....

so will this co-oresponding cancel out my need for a phone # when I order a hawk800? lol

and mainily I ask because my paypal gave no addition pop-up/pulldown entry field for a phone number

the poly 800 has a legendary sound thats so unique .
people mistake it for another synth
but these were the original as I recall ...dynamic analog polyphonic consoles arose just after the big modular craze phased out from the 70's

keep it alive !

Hi
Charles,
You can't
barge in here. So don't worry about that.

I am the
creator of the HAWK kits. If you need help. I am right here.
Or you can email support@....
It's difficult to know how
experienced someone is with a soldering iron, especially
desoldering. So removal of IC29 and the EPROM socket is
where some people go wrong.
If you have a desoldering
workstation then removing the EPROM socket and IC29 is a
piece of cake. And owning  a desoldering workstation
basically means, you know what you're doing. Using
desoldering wick and or a solder sucker makes the job a bit
more of a challenge. Unfortunately, it's the
inexperienced that only have desolvering wick or solder
sucker that usually get into trouble. Some people have also
had problems just soldering the HAWK board itself. This is
usually people that have soldered some wires before but have
never done PCB work. Cold joints are the most common. When
someone runs into trouble, the first thing I do is ask for a
photo of the HAWK board solder side and the solder side of
IC29 and the EPROM socket. Then I tell them to redo the
soldering on the whole and that usually clears the issues
up. I have very few problems though. The vast majority of 
HAWK installers have no problems at all.

But, I had to write my warnings on
the web site just to make sure that inexperienced people
understand what they're getting into. And that it is
entirely their responsibility if things go south.

I love
the Poly so much that I offer a ton of help when people need
it. It's just another charitable thing for me.

/Mike
