The MIDI board is getting power from the top left of the back power board...as seen here. I haven't unravelled the red/black wires yet because its up stairs and I'm having a beer ;)

Are those the midi jacks way over on the right hand wood panel at the end
of the yellow wires? Considering they should be as close as possible and
preferably use shielded cable, those look like they are as far away as possible
and not shielded, although the tight twist in the wire does a decent job of
cancelling out any noise picked up.
Back to the Polysix we are looking at, I have some questions about where
they are getting power from. Both boards need power. I can see a pair of
red/black or orange/black wires coming off the board that was wrapped in foam,
but I can’t see what the other end of these wires is connected to and it looks
like the wires may be looped around in a messy coil. Not good. I assume the
other board gets powered over the ribbon cable.

The EES midi interface seems to have been a generic platform, perhaps with a
bit of code customization for the related synth/organ etc.
Otherwise, it's also here on this Oberheim OBX... I'll ask Sneak-Thief if he
knows anything of it as he's very much hardware/software savvy...
