Discussion about the Korg PolySix synthesizer

Thanks Crow,

  Yep, I'm thinking bad pot too. I'll try the measurements again. Can you tell
me where to get a replacement that's close to the original? I've heard you
mention jameco.com  Looks like I need a 10K Ohm -5V to +5V linear type correct?

regards,

dizz
