Hello All,
I have just joined the group. Its great to see there's a worldwide community for the Polysix.
On the other hand the big attraction of that vintage machine,
has let the price explode within just a few years.
Hard to get a hand on one below 1000 Euros these days.
I own already a couple of POLY 61 which can still be got around 200 Euros,
which is a very reasonable pricing.
So while I cannot afford the tag for a full Polysix,
I've got plenty of 2nd hand components to make synth of my own, and i thought
Why not build a Polysix clone from scratch?
Some may think I am crazy? But why not?
When you have a database of all PCBs with schematic and layout,
it's a piece of cake to replace one CPU by another, add mods, hacks, MIDI etc,
without ending in a mess of cables and PCB stacks..
I am skilled in using PCB schema and layout design.
So I got schemas and layouts of KLM 369, 370, 371 already together.
Now I want to get going with the bigger PCBs.
However what I need are good quality photos of existing PCBs from above and from below.
In addition I've need a scan of a SM where the PCB traces are resolved better than on the copy that I have.
So if the one or other of you had such photo or scans, I would be more than happy.
If someone was interested I will for sure share my layouts and schemas with you.
Native format is TARGET3001, which you can get for free as pin-limited version.
Cheers,
Tarek
