Failing Output

Failing Output

2014-02-06 by <josh.nursing@gmail.com>

Cleaned up the whole of the key contacts and the front panel switches tonight but it sounds like my Polysix Out is failing: I get barely any sound out of it. Phones jack work slightly better.


Where should I look? Looks like the effects board IC21 and surroundings as well as IC1 on KLM-369?

check the output switch on the frontpanel. open that up and clean it...had the same issue with really low output. after cleaning the switch everything worked fine again. those korg switches gets corroded inside.
