Discussion about the Korg PolySix synthesizer

So you know, the capacitor values are fairly useless without the
"type" of capacitor.  For the most part, swapping capacitors won't
help much except for the electrolytic (the metal can kinds), as they
dry out.  It would be a good idea to start with all of the power
supply caps, as they are the most important.  Without clean power
rails, nothing else will ever work as good as it should.

Are you sure you used the service manual to get your information?
The service manual that is linked to the group (and happens to be on
my website) at:
http://www.chromatest.net/POLY6_Service_Ensemble.pdf

has a parts list towards the end (section 9) which lists all the
capacitors and their values.  I wouldn't bother swapping out anything
other than the electrolytics. If you are decent with desoldering
through-hole components, this repair should take you a couple hours
and less than 10-15 dollars in parts.
