Discussion about the Korg PolySix synthesizer

An update here for everyone... 

I did some correlating with the infamous Murray over at kiwitechnics.com (the company that is currently working on the Kiwisix upgrade for Korg Polysix) - He agrees this part number will work, BUT he recommends the 'Long Service Life' version instead of the standard one.

Part number is nearly identical: It's a 5000 instead of a 4000:

Mouser 653-B3F-5000

In terms of cost the long service life version is 55 cents each (when ordering 25) instead of 45 cents. I can spare $2.50 for the extra peace of mind that 10 years along it won't need replacing... ;-)

Cheers!
