Discussion about the Korg PolySix synthesizer

Hello Brian,

I had a similar problem with another P6 which I had in for repair. 
One of the quad latches was running out of control because the 
control port line from the CPU was missing. I see from your picture 
there is still some severe corrosion on the print which needs to be 
dealt with post haste! I would suggest you start looking from broken 
tracks around the area where IC31 is and the new battery has been 
mounted.

Cheers,
Andy
