Hallo My polysix have the wooden case painted of black. The last models produced have this feature? I watched inside the case and the paint appear to be...
Hi Giorgio, I have to say that in all my time I have never seen a black Polysix! I don't think this is something that came from the factory, but was either...
Hi all, Since I'm new to the group I probably ought to introduce myself before opening my mouth for other reasons. My name is Jed Jorgensen and I live in...
If you undertake this endeavor, please try to incorporate Old Crowes latest PCB design with the MIDI implementation already built into it. I'd be down if you...
Hi Jed, Good idea, however, I think you would have more interest if the PCBs were stuffed, tested and calibrated. I think only the hardcore electronics fans in...
Jed, thanks for the email. You just caught me while I was cleaning the contacts on my (mostly) functioning Polysix (I have two and one is totally dead)....
Count me in! (I'd like to replace that old eyesore NiCad with a nice, new lithium coin cell, and make that board bulletproof as well!) THANKS! Dave Garfield ...
Andrew has a good point, that many people may not be up for the level of effort required to use a blank pcb. However, I think offering stuffed, tested, and...
I would potentially be interested. It would depend on cost and MIDI features. As far as I know, my KLM-367 does actually work, although it is half patched with...
Hi Jed, No, No, don't let me put you off doing this. I am sure it will be invaluable to the community. Just make sure you have all angles covered before you...
i have cleaned the key contacts on my polysix probably 4 or 5 times even using diffrent solvents at times. I always get everything back and everything is...
Jed, I think this is great. I was thinking the same thought and will be willing to assist in the project. I also live in Portland, Oregon. I am currently in...
Hi all, Thanks for all the emails. It's good to see the range of interest and the varying needs that would have to be met to make this successful. Andy makes...
I Had this problem with my Jupiter-6. I used a potentiometer cleaning spray and also a very fine sandpaper on the most oxidated contacts. So far so good. ...
Hi, There are a couple of things I have noticed which improves the longevity of a Polysix key contacts repair, without going to the lengths of covering ...
What about Caig Deoxit? would that work? it works perfectly for my crackly pots. I just used the trusty eraser on the contacts method. it works ok, but they...
Hey, god tips. I have found that my contacts are usually not to blame, as they work just fine without the keys in place, just playing pads to tracks. I have...
The product I mentioned is almost like an electrical switch cleaner with a very, very light lubricant in it. This is what keeps the oxidization away. I had a...
ive tried the alcohol ...worked initially, had better results on stubborn contacts with lighter fluid, have also tried very fine abrasive paper...all worked...
Let's put it another way. The Polysix I treated with the Mykal product I spoke about earlier was cleaned about 9 months ago. It is played perhaps once a week...
