Hi group:
I have two Korg Poly 61 for parts.
I'll be glad to sell a complete power supply to replace yours.
If anyone is interested, let me know.
Best regards

Hello,
I joined this list because I have just get damaged my Korg Poly 61 (also
another RK100 controller seems to have the same symptoms) . It gets
crazy when powered on, all lights flhasing and emiting strange sounds, I
think it's related to capacitors, as you are talking about. Please if
you have a service manual and could send me a copy, it would be great.

About the diode, I'm sure is not a problem to replace for any other not
being exact, and probably the capacitor could be replace for the more
closely one 470 or 500 are easy to find), I use to replace this kind of
things in other machines and all they worked. If not, you always can do
some combination , as you probably know, in serial combination,
capacitors give you the the result of (c1.c2.c3...cn)/(c1+c2+c3...cn)

Regards.
