Discussion about the Korg PolySix synthesizer

Crow,

  After cleaning the pot out with some contact cleaner the problem has improved
by appr. 50%. I believe it just hadn't been used in a while.
  I finally got a decent DMM and measured the voltage on the pot. However, I
don't see any negative voltage unless I reverse the leads. It reads 0V at
minimum and sweeps up to 9.92V at the max rotation. In the trouble spot, the
meter reads "overload" briefly and quickly continues measuring correctly after
resuming the rotation. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
