Poly 61 repair experience/question
2006-11-12 by gmanca101
Hello, I recently got a poly 61 that had an issue with the battery leaking and corroding the surround traces. I was able to re-trace, which I found to be easy with a circuitwork conductive pen (for those who happen to have this pen, I found that cutting a bit of the surrounding tip and place a bit of 90 percent isopropyl alcohol made the pen flow very well) So I reloaded the patches yet I was having an issue with two of the voices sounding either low or a simple click. It turns out the issue was the rainbow cable harness that connects the main board to the voice board. Not only was it partly corroded, but when I tried to replace the pin plugs in the connector, I tried to make non-stock plugs work which left me with one voice that didn't sound because the plug was not contacting with the board's pin header. I had been messing with the pots and all along it was something so easy to fix. However, now I am trying to find out what are the stock plugs for the cable. I'd presume they are the same as the poly 6 with the rectangular covers over the curved tip. Thanks for your time and help!
