Discussion about the Korg PolySix synthesizer

I've been reading the more recent messages and it sounds like corrosion was still going on after all these years on the KLM-367 board even after the battery replacement which would explain the random patch changes. Hmmmm....

Either corrosion-affected traces or parts are failing, or the CMOS SRAM
chip has reached end-of-life. I've had to replace more than one SRAM
(even with no corrosion apparent on the board) due to age. You might
double-check that at least 2.2 Volts is measured on pins 18 (plus) and 9
(minus) of the SRAM chip IC32 with the power off, and close to 5 volts
with the power on.
