Re: [PolySix] Replacement CPU chips available

2007-09-17 by Chris Goumas

Do you do repairs on Polysixes and if so where are you located?  I've to a Polysix with what I think is factory installed midi and the output is weak and what I would call distorted.  The patches change just fine and everything except for the sound seems to be fine.
   
  I'm not in a big hurry to fix it but would like to get it done at some point.

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.
