Hi everyone! Just got into the exciting world of PolySix yesterday, when I was given two p6's for free! One is in great shape, though suffered some battery damage. the other is a near write-off with sever corrosion on several areas of the main boards. After repairing all bad traces and vias (AFAIK) on the good p6, and replacing the IC31 SN74LS08 with a SN7408 (note the lack of LS), things seem to only half-work. The sub-osc doesn't appear to work, the ADSR only sort of works sometimes, the effects don't work, but there is a slow delay that is constantly applied to the signal. The programmer does not function at all. Sometimes program lights 2 and 5 will be on, other times just 3. Pressing any of the buttons on the programmer has no effect. I'm wondering if I really should replace the IC31 7408 with a 74LS08. The difference being that the LS has zener diodes, and different (higher?) impedance. Any suggestions on where to look next? Also, I believe the delay chips will need to be recallibrated. Are the trimmers on the bottom of each BBD section the bias or offset controls? OR neither? Thanks in advance! Sean
