I have wondered this myself...everyone said that the acid would spread
further eventually. In my own case, i did just jump wires at
first...everything worked for a few months then the patch switches
started being sluggish and then some started to stay on all the
time...so I took it apart again, scraped it all out ,restored all
continuities, replaced IC 31 and ic30....and NOTHING GOT ANY BETTER...
So i just sent my polysix about 100 miles to a supposed synth pro
because i dont understand what is going on anymore....but YES jumping
the wires did work at first.
