Discussion about the Korg PolySix synthesizer

Im about to buy a damaged P6 off a shop, it had the battery leak issue which has since been cleaned and tracks have been rejoined. The P6 powers up but all the leds remain on, no audio is coming out. Ive read that its possible that the IC22 CPU is damaged, is it possible to get a replacement (new or old) or is this issue a separate issue the IC22?

Any help would be great

Check http://www.analogsynthservice.com/poly6.html for a 8048 �controller replacement.

Of the many battery-damaged P6s I've repaired, practically none had a 
bad CPU chip -- most times the problem is with the circuit board.
One thing you might try is turning the Reset trimmer to the left;  if 
it's too far to the right, it can cause the symptom you describe.
