Polymoog sliders

Does anyone have a source for Polymoog sliders? I confess I haven't disassembled it sufficiently yet to be able to measure the fixings, but I wondered if anyone has already done the research.

Thanks

Thanks Neil, I'll give synthrestore a go.

I think Chip for brains might be Technology Transplant. I've emailed him/them - just waiting for a reply.

It will take a lot more disassembly before I have the dimensions of the sliders, so Mouser etc will have to wait for now.

Thanks

I know that Adrian does a lot of work on Polymoogs for one of his clients, I bought a 280a that Adrian had worked on. I suspect he has a few parted out Polys, I know he's a good source for polycards, so he's your best chance of getting replacement sliders.

Also, are you a member of the Polymoog owners site?

http://www.dubsounds.com/polymoog.htm

The guys on here will probably be able to assist, there's usually someone restoring a Poly, who might again have parted out an irreparable synth.

Yep, I was a member already and have just re-introduced myself. I noticed there was a Digikey part number for LEDs which will be useful. I was hoping someone would have a Mouser/Farnell/Digikey part number for the sliders, but nothing yet, other than a suggestion I can dismantle the sliders and clean them - not sure how successful that will be.

Just trying multiple avenues of enquiry. :-)

I'm not sure, but i would guess they also used the same sliders in the Opus 3, Rogue, MG1 Concertmate, and Taurus II if that helps

The Polymoog owners site has service manuals, ask Sean the moderator
