Hi all, Is there a direct pin for pin replacement for the Mk1 Poly 800's audio out jack (L/Mono) available and where would I purchase it? The signal is all scratchy and have to move the audio lead around to get the signal clean. Thanks for your help. Tim

Silly questions coming up Have you checked the soldering on the jack socket itself? Have you tried a different cable? Usually it's cracked solder on the jack socket, or you can use a screwdriver sometimes to bend the actual 'finger' contacts inside the jack itself if they have lost some grip. If the jack has dirty contacts inside usually a good amount of insertions cough ahem, clears that problem up. So, cracked solder or faulty cable? Martin ________________________________

Thanks for the assistance. Had a chance today to open the Poly 800 up and I resoldered the Audio Out jacks and all now works beautifully! No need to try and replace the (L)audio out jack Many thanks. Tim --- In korgpolyex@yahoogroups.com, Martin Ator <cyllall@...> wrote:
