Vintage Synth Repair

Hi Richard!

Concerning the Poly 61 you should have a look at the backup battery.
It's bound to leak and possibly destroy the PCB after approx. 15 
years. BTW: The same goes for the PolySix.
I think it's worth 300 bucks as long as it is in reasonable condition.

Cheers,

Reinhard
