I have an old P6 that I'm restoring. I've manged to get every part working but the damn thing will not tune. I substituted the voice board and CPU board over and still the problem is the same. The power supply rails are rock solid. It has been suggested that the boards I have fitted (obviously second hand) could be suffering from an inherent/common problem and I'm beginning to agree this is possible. Basically if I tune C6 as described in the service manual all is well, I then adjust VR1 to get C2 into tune but when I do this C6 is now pitched at D#6. On checking C0 or C1 it reads B flat (C2 remains in tune and C3 is more or less in tune). I have set up several Poly 6's in the past and have never come across this problem. When I measure the CV with C0-C5 held, the voltages are not exactly 0.5v apart but I can't be sure if they are usually precisely 0.5, 1.0, 1.5v etc at the octaves are triggered. I've read on the forum about the opto but because the CV descrepancy I'm not too convinced at the moment. Any ideas,,please help Thanks --------------------------------- To help you stay safe and secure online, we've developed the all new Yahoo! Security Centre.
