Re: Polysix Clone KLM367a MG Problem help!

2011-06-05 by hotdogfinger25

Hi Andy,
Thanks for your response! I am wondering if I might have fried IC 33 and 32 in the transfer from the old board. Would the D/A problems and the out of control MG circuit be related? Sorry if these questions are tedious.
Here are some macro shots I have uploaded to my photobucket acct. 
Thanks again! 
Greg
