No Battery Visable and...

2009-11-05 by Robert Sweeney

Hello Again,

I finally had time this evening to take another look at the inside of the old poly 800.
There is no battery visible that I could see on the main board,
so anything you can send my way as far as where and how to install a new one
would be greatly appreciated!
.
I also played around with attempting to load some programs/sounds
I was able to obtain.

However, all the programs seems to be sounding mostly the same
wither I load the new sounds or factory sounds to the tape in,
Poly says all is good, but all the "programs" are still sounding mostly alike/the same,
( I am still able to effect some changes by using different perimeter settings.)

I was assuming that once loaded, the factory or new programs/sounds
would offer something more immediately playable , like piano,organ or string sounds,
without having to tweak the thing for 5 minutes.

or is this just the inherent nature of the Poly 800 ?

Thanks
