Discussion about the Korg PolySix synthesizer

Hi,

The way I look at it is this. If I can use my skills to give 
something back to the community then this will be a good thing. Plus 
there is the pride element of having contributed to the restoration 
of these great old museum pieces!

I don't think I will be any threat to the real artisans of the synth 
repair world. They seem to be booked solid into the distant future 
with their own base of clients. My little project might just come as 
a relief to a few who can't wait that long...

Cheers,
Andy

(perhaps they can handle replacing tubes in an amp).
