First thought: Your tech did not find and correct ALL the battery gunk problems. So often the best solution (albeit, a time consuming one), is to build and

Hi folks, been a while since I was here, but I have another question for the P6 experts amongst us. I looked at this issue a while back and then shelved it,

I think it needs further investigation. I forgot to mention - i also tried brasso a product for reconditioning tarnished brass. I figure what helps one metal

Agree with you. Whatever you beleive this varnish is, it should not be there and should not be removed with steel wool whatever the grade, as steel is harder

fine steel wool can be quite soft . Alcohol doesn t even come close. The lacquer build up isn t affected by it. I think rubber related solvents would be the

Yikes, that’s a scary way to clean those pads. They are supposed to be gold-plated, with copper underneath. Once the gold is gone they can corrode very

Thanks for the answers... tonight I may have busted an important myth... I m kind of hoping, anyway. After looking at the copper contacts on the keybed circuit

Hi Man, So if the arpeggiator pulses influences the voice tuning, usuall the best path this goes are supply / ground lines. I recommend you measure voltages on

Another update: After swapping out all new MC4458L s for the old opamps from the damaged board I did not notice a strong improvement but perhaps a bit.

I m going to guess that your P6 had the battery replaced some number of years ago. Most of these synths had the batteries blow out on them at least ten years
