Hi all.

Joining this forum because I'm about to embark on fixing a PolySix that has the dreaded battery-leak issue. I got it for $25 about fifteen years ago at a garage-sale, so it's a 'find', but a boat anchor unless I can fix it. So I'll be looking for info on repairs for this issue, or possibly replacement boards I've seen available.

I'm just about finished restoring a Hammond B3 that was hideously chopped. So I'm fearless - when it comes to point-to-point wiring. But wow - PC boards. I've got dome learnin' to do!

Cheers!

Ok, the B3 is done. So, onto the PolySix.

Years ago I happened on http://www.oldcrows.net/~oldcrow/synth/korg/polysix/repair3.html

Back "then" he offered a swap service whereby he would swap a repaired board for a damaged one for $100. But no reply these days ... So, DIY is the option here (following his instructions.)

Doubting my abilities to repair the board myself I'm wondering about the KiwiSix replacement: http://kiwitechnics.com/kiwisix.htm

And this solution https://synthronics.de/klm-368-replacement-board/

And maybe there are other options.

Any advice/experience out there to help me take the 1st step?

Thanks!

Bob

Yikes! The above is probably in the wrong forum topic. Please admin - move these where appropriate with my apologies.
