Discussion about the Korg PolySix synthesizer

One more quick question.  Has anyone tried using the circuitwriter pen
http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2104395 to repair 
damaged traces?  Thanks guys.

Seriously.. the only effective way to deal with the acid-damaged traces in a Polysix is to eradicate them.? Anything else is just asking for trouble.? Think of it as excising a cancer... you need to get it all out to be safe.

I have used one for other repairs...my complaint about the pen is that the ink line can be fat and blobby compared to a fine trace , and wire can be very thin and  neater. The ink is hard to control and the scale of the polysix traces is  pretty small.

Also, don't overlook the damaged thru-holes, which cannot be repaired 
by a circuit pen.

fashioned way.

I use a similar thing when soldering is not possible, e.g. on flex-PCBs
or the like. I agree with one poster who says that it can be difficult
to "draw" the fine traces you often find. But I certainly prefer
soldering a real wire from point to point.
