Re: Polysix no sound

2005-12-10 by hansomchaam

Hello,
Every suggestion from everyone given to me (thanks) I have tried but 
still no sound.
The problem seems to be in the 8048 processor on KLM367. The 
outputsignal on pin 19 (DB7) has his pattern but some levels are 
higher than + 5 volt, it looks like an open line (not terminated), 
when I pull down it (10 k) it's gone but why??
So I'm thinking on replacing the processor and asking is this still 
for sale somewhere (or replacement).
Please give me suggestions (where to buy).
Thanks,
Han.
