Hi, this is my my first post to this group. I bought a Polysix recently realizing they're very old. Actually played guitar mainly in the 80's but there was always a PSix in my basement studio. Background: this unit had maintenance performed by Korg in the 80's and the battery was lifted into a socket before any damage occurred. It works pretty good except; I noticed some volume issues (not being very responsive to cranking it up!) I believe I solved this issue by working the volume pot a few times-maybe a scratchy pot in need of cleaning. More importantly, there's an issue with the VCF cutoff. It doesn't track well when at the lower freqs. When I move the knob it sounds like it's dirty and cuts in and out. When it's stationary (not moving) the freq cuts off where it should. Just to be clear, I can set it any where and get the correct cutoff, it just takes some tweaking at the lower end. This again sounds like maybe a dirty pot. I have heard that the filter chip set may be going?? Not a tech head myself. Sorry for being longwinded but I need to keep this dinosaur roaring!! Any feedback would be appreciated
