still dead...

2005-06-05 by Mark Daborn

Oh well.
I removed the battery and there was a fair amount of corrosion there. Nothing had been eaten through but the tell-tale brown discolouring was present. I had to wire-link several components just to be on the safe side but the machine is still unwell.
Poly8 mode produces the most sound although it is sporadic and most of the keys dont seem to sound. Poly4 mode produces a high pitch static sound like the filter on full resonance over any faint sound that may be there. Mono mode now is just a shrill digital fuzz.
Im beginning to suspect one or more IC's may be faulty but i don't have a clue which ones.
I think it maybe time to hand it over to a tech who knows what he/she's doing!
The only problem is, i don't know of any!!
Anyway, thanks to everyone for the help. I just hope i can find someone to get this thing working!!
