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

Hi,

I'm looking inside my Polysix which was given to me for free in dead condition a couple of years ago.
When I received it I saw it had suffered from battery leaking (redundant information I assume hehe). So I then removed the battery, replaced IC31 which was dead, fixed a couple of broken traces and cleaned the board. It was then "working" but in dire need of recalibration, but I left it as it was.
Now it's time I get my thumbs out and calibrate it. But, before I will start I thought perhaps a recapping session would be good before I attempt calibration.
I've been trying to locate the different caps and measuring their physical dimensions so I know what to order as replacements.

Looking at the component list I noticed two separate 50V 2.2uF cap entries. (These are all on KLM-367).
On the second row there is one (C34).
On the third last row there are two, but marked with "MS" as well (C32,C33).
What does that mean?
Physically they have the same dimensions and temperature markings.
The only thing I see it that the regular one (C34) is ELNA and the ones marked MS in the schematics has no visible manufacturer as far as I can tell.
Another MS marked cap is the one next to the battery (C40).
Is MS a manufacturer? Does it denote "no-name generic brand"? Something else? Does it really matter? :P

Regards,
Peter
