Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: Discussion about the Korg PolySix synthesizer

Hello,

I recently aquired a polysix. The machine had a few keys which weren't
working properly, and despite my best efforts of cleaning out those
rubber pads, the problems kept coming back.

Thankfully, I had an old partially-broken poly 800 sitting around, so
I cracked it open and was happy to find out that the poly 800 used the
exact same rubber keypads as the polysix. So, I have replaced those
keypads.

My current issue is this: one of the keys on my polysix was broken by
the previous owner, and the guy superglued it back together. It
dosen't look the greatest, so I would like to swap a key from the poly
800 into the polysix (I believe they are interchangeable). However, I
have not been able to quite figure out how to remove a key from either
the poly 800 or the polysix.

Do you have to bend in the pins at the end of the keyboard chassis and
push them out? Or, do you have to pull the whole keyboard chassis
apart, and if so, how?

Thanks,

- Peter
