Are you actually using a tape recorder? You will need to use the tape out socket. Playing it out through a headphone socket or line out will not be strong enough probably.

Change Resistor R96 inside the Poly-800 to 4.7K. It will take some finding on the schematic. Then you can play from a computer or most modern playback methods then.

I've always used my computer line out and didn't have to change R96 either.

Yeah, silly me. R96 is the tape out from the Korg. It will give a stronger signal when you want to save your patches to tape.

Yeah using a tape recorder with buttonup and down volume control. Had a "good" for the first two dumps. Then just couldnt load factory "preload"  Very frustrating!

you might want to try using a PC and grab the audio recording of the factory defaults from the files section here.
