“Here we have my

Working KORG POLY-61 Vintage 1980’s Synthesizer Keyboard

I have had this a long long time, and over the years it has seen more action than Axel Rose.

Over the years I have had hard Red Oak sides put on, as the chipboard that was originally there was just falling to bits as they all do.

I have not used it for over a year, but it is fully functioning. Just needs some switch cleaner in the volume knob as it is a little scratchy when turned. With time and use this should dissipate.

Also, where the modulation/Pitch bend joystick is, the panel does move a bit. It has done this since the sides were replaced but it does not affect playing or using of the joystick. It could use some shorter screws in it I think. Just never bothered with it as it did not detract from its use. Just thought I would mention it as someone may want to fix that.

Other that what I have mentioned , it is working as it should.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“Made in Japan by Korg in the mid-1980s, it’s a Korg Poly-800 synthesizer. Korg made the Poly-800 from about 1983 to 1987. It’s polyphonic.
It’s in fine cosmetic condition. At some point, the batteries leaked in it. I cleaned up the battery acid on the inside. It did not stain anywhere except the battery compartment.
It does not work properly. It does power up and produces noises. But they are very unmusical noises.
Except for me cleaning it, it has not been worked on. I sincerely believe it is all original and complete.
It comes with a replacement power cord adapter. It comes with a torn vinyl gig bag without a handle, but with working zipper.
It is being sold as a non-working repair project. ” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“Korg Poly 800 synthesizer from 1983. Great condition for a 40 year old synth. As can be seen in the photos the DCO and Pitch Bend joystick top knob is missing, but the stick functions fully.

I have fitted a new internal button cell battery to prevent the loss of patches when powered off without the main D type batteries in place. This is one of two that I own and have brought back to life, but I’m going to be keeping the other one for my own synth collection.

Manuals are available online, as are a number of alternative user made patches. Patch files are in audio format and have traditionally been uploaded to the synth by tape. However, they can be transferred to the synth using free audio software such as Audacity and the appropriate audio file played into the Tape input by a 3.5mm jack lead.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“KORG POLY 800 (modded)
Power Supply Included

Just found this old thing! Korg Poly 800 that I modded quite some time ago.
I have checked and the filter mod seems to be working fine (pot for both cutoff and resonance), the data entry mod appears to be only changing values down.
The other mod for input I’m not sure about. All keys are working as is the joystick.

As you can see the filter knobs have been placed over the old graphics for program numbers, and that whole area has been plastidipped (rubber spray that is easily removed) which has some damage (easy to redo)

This is definitely a small project for someone. There are some holes made under near the keys where the screws have gone through the plastic (wrong screws used whoops and pictured)”
