I have wondered this myself...everyone said that the acid would spread 
further eventually. In my own case, i did just jump wires at 
first...everything worked for a few months then the patch switches 
started being sluggish and then some started to stay on all the 
time...so I took it apart again, scraped it all out ,restored all 
continuities, replaced IC 31 and ic30....and NOTHING GOT ANY BETTER... 
So i just sent my polysix about 100 miles to a supposed  synth pro 
because i dont understand what is going on anymore....but YES jumping 
the wires did work at first.
