Discussion about the Korg PolySix synthesizer

Is the FX board in the Polysix a dedicated, self-contained unit? I'd
like to extract it from my Polysix- as long as I feed it power, connect
switches to the right places, and find the ins and outs, can I basically
wire it into anything? Or are there other key components elsewhere
in the synth?

Bear with me here, I'm still a beginner...

Why butcher a lovely animal just to get at a $20 effects board?

Are you mad????

Nah... my Polysix got hit really really bad by the leaky battery thing.
And I mean bad.

It's never *that* bad surely??

I'm sure you could still repair it or sell it (to me!) no matter what
condition the battery leakage was?

See here's the thing though. As some of you may know,
I'm absolutely *in love* with my Mono/poly. I have a
very very extensive page dedicated to it:

www.mohodisco.com/monopoly

I don't ever want that synth to break. Being that Mo/pos
don't seem to turn up busted very much, I thought I'd go
for a busted Polysix for spare parts, in case the Mo/po
breaks in the future.

I will be turning my Mo/po into a table-top unit sometime
soon, and I'll need at least two of the knobs from the Polysix
for that (yep, they just gotta match). Basically, when I bought
this thing, I knew I was going to loot it for spare parts, even if
I did end up fixing it first, just for the education experience.

I also bought it so that I could have a synth that I could open
up and fool around with, without worrying about breaking
anything, because the thing is broken anyway. And cosmetically,
it's a 6 out of 10.

I will concede that I'm a newbie here... so any further advice
would be helpful. For what it's worth, I am sending the PCB
from my Polysix to old Crow for him to give it a once over...
