Discussion about the Korg PolySix synthesizer

Hola-
Replaced some CMOS with no result, finally had success with a new 4558 
at IC19.
Thanks for the help -- this didn't used to be so difficult, but with 4 
to 6 repairs going at once (and more on the way), it's difficult to 
focus like I'm supposed to.
Looking forward to a break soon....

Thanks again.
