A buddy of mine brought another PolySix by the shop today to have the ORIGINAL memory battery replaced -- it had been in continuous service since the synth was newly minted in 1981. 30 year-old NiCad battery still going strong; It measured 4.02 volts when it was replaced today, strictly as a measure of precaution.

We're thinking of submitting the battery to the Smithsonian or Ripley's..."
