"The enclosure on this polysix is Brand New. I got it from Synthtronics and there isn’t a scratch on it. Since I installed the new enclosure I haven’t used it at all.

It also comes with a new KLM digital board from Synthtronics and the a Tubbutec ModyPoly mod. It originally had the classic battery leak issue but I have had zero problems with it since replacing the KLM board about 3 years ago. I also recently cleaned all of the keyboard contacts so every key triggers perfectly. It will ship in a softshell case."

New Blue on White Korg Polysix Metal Panel Cases by Synthronics

via synthronics.de

"Polysix synthesizers normally have worn and rusty metal panels with scratches on paint.

It was decided to re-manufacture the WHOLE metal panel incl. new paint coat and new silk screen printing.

The paint coat (in comparison to original panel) ist on both sides, so the panel will not rust nowhere.

All silk printings are as close as possible to original to preserve the original look of this great synth.

Printed texts „1 OCT DOWN“ and „2 OCT DOWN“ of the SUB OSC switch stick out of the violet rectangle around 0,5mm. This small defect is present on all panels.

Korg Polysix w/ Tubbutec Mody/Poly Kit

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"Keyboard has been recapped, new wiring, battery replaced/modded, tuned/calibrated, includes complete Tubbutec Mody/Poly kit which adds midi among other features to this classic synth. The kit cost €179 + ship. So basically $200. Nice thing is you don't have to wait on shipping or stock availability.

The bad:

The Arp suddenly stopped working. Everything else works perfect. It was working fine, attempted to send a CV via a Sub-37 to the Arp clock input, after that, it stopped working. The arp button works (engages arp mode), hold works in arp mode, keys work in arp mode, LED correctly follows arp speed via rate knob, but pattern does not arp. It's almost like the clock input is still looking for a cv signal. I imagine this is a relatively easy fix. I have adjusted my price to reflect this. Aside from that and a few cosmetic blemishes (chipped wood, see pics), all is excellent."
