Ah, you guys like synth restoration chat...

I'll post some pics of my Korg MonoPoly restore/custom cheeks and new baseboard soon.

James,

That's really awesome, I totally missed that you were so into synth repair and DIY.

One thing I'm wondering is how do you test components without de soldering them? Do you have a ELI5 tutorial you can point me to? (ELI6 would work too...;-)

Awesome, please keep us posted about that restoration project (show some pix, plz!)

Kai

I could buy a replacement set but so far every one I've pulled apart and run through the ultrasonic cleaner has felt and sounded great. I'm thinking of having shafts 3d printed rather than swapping out the pots.

My other one is in fantastic condition and I had Phil at CMS go through it. So, I've opened up my old one to see his mods to repeat the procedure on the new one.
