Korg Poly800/EX800 Users

Does anyone out there have a dead poly 800? I want one to salvage parts 
from, namely the joystick assembly. If you are in the US and you accept 
paypal, maybe we can work something out.

Thanks in advance!

Zoinky from the circuit benders group just purchased one that he's 
sending back to whoever he purchased it from. The owner claimed the 
battery was dead and Zoink found the entire processor section was dead. 
Maybe you can get in the middle of this if they'll tell you about the 
condition of the parts you need. Good luck.

MIDI controllers are set up in the EX800 ROM code, it will be a very 
easy task to integrate all of the controls into MIDI controllers. The 
only question is, which parameters do we want to make into a 
controller and which don't we?

hey thanks for posting this, I joined this group to learn about the 
mods when I picked up that dead Poly800 and I decided I still want a 
Poly 800 after reading about all the rad mods here, so I'm not 
unsubscribing and waiting for a good deal on ebay.  Anyway I brought 
the dead one back to the guy the other day and told him maybe he 
could sell it to someone wanting to salvage it for parts.  I dont 
know if he wants to mail it though, but I doubt he'll be able to find 
anyone locally who wants it. I'll email him and let him know.  I 
opened the thing up and everything else looks ok, the joystick 
assembly looks fine.
