Discussion about the Korg PolySix synthesizer

i think everything can be replaced. i've replaced quite a few ICs in
mine (it still doesn't work 100% though). the traces are repairable
(you just jumper them) but the tricky part is to find the faulty ones.
there's a nice guide on this on oldcrow's site.

i'm not saying it's that for sure though - and it's more difficult to
locate the broken traces if it's already been half-repaired (you don't
see where the battery acid leaked)...
