Discussion about the Korg PolySix synthesizer

If you are serious about deploying this replacement KLM-367 then you should
only consider the most obscure parts for salvage. We are talking mask ROM,
wire to PCB connectors, thermistor, long-tail pair bipolar, etc. This board
is approaching it's 30th anniversary in some cases and it will be slightly
remiss not to change the ageing silicon and passives with commonly
available, off-the-shelf replacements, where possible. (Some of these have
lives much shorter than 30 years!) I understand that a full BOM for use with
Farnell and Mouser with be made available where most of the these components
can be bought. 

 

Cheers,

Andy

The damage was very expensive on mine. Some things certainly are
salvageable, but not much. And the time investment in desoldering might
easily justify the new parts.
