Replacement CPU chips available

2007-09-17 by cavernosum7

Finally gotten around to securing programmable versions of the 8040 &
8049 CPU chips used on the Polysix Processor and Voice boards;  and
after a long search, found an appropriate programmer.

If anyone needs replacements for either of these, I can offer them for
$30 each, plus shipping.  These are new old stock 8748 & 8749 chips,
programmed with the original Korg data and tested in my Polysix.

HOWEVER, be aware that most of the repair problems you will encounter
in a Polysix (mainly due to battery leakage) will not be solved by new
CPU chips.  These are not offered as a cure-all;  just for people who
KNOW that this is what they need.
