Thanks Doug!

There\u2019s 49 small boards (one for each key in the poly section) inside.

These small board are for envelope generators. Each of these boards have a double circuit. One for section A and other for section B (two sound generators)

The electrolytic capacitors in these boards show some corrosion and the envelope have an irregular behavior.

Best regards.

That sounds like you'll need to find and replace one or more leaky electrolytic caps. With any machine that old, you are likely to find that. Can't help you on anything more specific without actully having the unit hooked up to a scope. Sorry.
