  Junk Polysix?  Can I have the circuit boards? ^^  Or the case? ^^  Futz,
the whole machine?  I collect Polysixen for parts and resurrection.

  My Polysix service manual is at the house, but after work today I can
snapshot the mod wheels portion of the schematic and place it on a web
server if you like.

  I have plans to make a minimoog-style synth using MOTMs on a single 20U
to 24U wide upper frame that sits on a 'shelf' built onto the original
Polysix case.  The more Polysix parts and cases, the better.
