Discussion about the Korg PolySix synthesizer

Now there is something I can believe in!  I will try your repair 
Johannes this weekend and post my results.  I will also try an eraser 
to remove the coating from pads (not the PCB side but the black parts 
on the rubber nubbies (I need to learn the correct terminology 
here :) )) 

And then clean them with alcohol, luckily I have some 99% isopropyl 
around and some lint free wipes, should be good for the PCB and the 
nubbies.  Alright I'll post my results after I do it, thanks.
