Korg Poly 61

“This is a fully functioning Korg Poly 61. I had it serviced by Belltone Synthworks in PA, so the battery and key contacts have been replaced. There is some wear on the end panels, but that is part of being 30+ years old sometimes.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

Korg Poly-61M

“Korg Poly-61M MIDI Synthesizer. Serviced and with NEW CPU board installed.

This is the original Korg Poly-61M, a great sounding polysynth with the factory MIDI. Poly61 are known for many developed defects, the most dangerous is a backup battery leak which destroys the CPU memory. The original battery was replaced, several years ago, however the acid leak continued to develop and destroy traces and joints until one day it stopped working completely. At that point, it became obvious it can be worse in the future, and the new CPU board was installed a month ago. This is newly manufactured board from Synthronics in Germany. So, the lesson here – never trust somebody who replaced the battery because original battery leaked already, with 99% chance it will fail anyway.

The second problem of all Poly61 is connectors. Connectors and cables get oxidized over a time and no longer can work reliably even after you clean them. They simply no longer hold the contact. This synth has all problematic connectors replaced (all cables in black on photo are new wires).

And finally power supply was serviced with premium Nichicon original audio grade caps.

Everything else is untouched. Original buttons, pots and keys work. The overall condition is very clean. It comes with the original case where it was stored the most of its life. It hasn’t been used much at all. The proof of all work is on photos. ” Click here to visit listing on eBay

Working but has some issues which I’m told are an easy fix.

1. Bottom F key is sometimes sticking

2. Outout jack volume low but headphone socket to amp is fine

3. Number 1 section key needs a good jab. Needs a clean I think.

This synth just sounds so great. I think a good clean up and restore and it will be a beauty.”

“Collection only, I’m not risking this beauty getting smashed to bits in the post.
Korg Poly 61, works perfectly, in really nice cosmetic condition, all voices work, battery has been changed with new battery and moved away from circuit board, there has never been any battery acid corrosion etc, all buttons work fine, MIDI kit installed that has a MIDI in connection (The MIDI port is connected to a MIDI cable that you can plug into your DAW/MIDI out etc).

A Poly 61 with a MIDI in port is brilliant and makes it infinitely more fun than a standard Poly 61.

If you have lusted after a Poly 61 the this is the one – This model here looks great, sounds great and the MIDI in is the cherry on the cake.”

Korg Poly-61M

” Korg Poly-61M completely refurbished, new oak chassis, new switches, Beautiful !

This synth was in very good condition, even before I refurbed it. I just wanted to create the best possible P-61M I could. It has never had a battery leakage, although I have updated the battery to a modern 3.6V lithium coin battery (2032) with an easy access battery holder. I refurbished the keyboard, cleaning it thoroughly piece by piece, and after polishing all the contacts, I applied the little carbon discs to each contact, as seen at sounddoctorin.com. It’s a brilliant fix, so now the keys play like new. Then I replaced all the program buttons’ switches with brand new ones, which fixes the annoying problem of not getting the buttons to work properly. Now, they are perfect. See the photo of the switch board with new (blue) switches. Then I built a brand new solid oak chassis for the synth, so as you can see, it is gorgeous, and now more solid than new. It was finished with a Satin Ebony polyurethane that goes very well with the gray panel. All pots lubricated, new knobs, all bolts and inserts for the chassis are new, and new rubber feet. Nothing is missing.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

It could possibly be an easy fix for someone that works on these. Notes are being held for some reason. Not sure of the battery works or not but I think it is a working replacement. It seems like everything else is working and it sure sounds great. Check out the little demo video.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

Korg Poly-61 Project Machine

“KORG Poly-61 Analog Synthesizer – poly 61 korg. Condition is “For parts or not working”. Collection in person only.

I brought this refurbished from eBay around 10-15 years ago. I believe it has had a new battery installed (I cant see any signs of damage on the motherboard) as well an additional memory bank – this can be toggled on and off using a switch (See pictures)

It works intermittently, times when it doesn’t work the volume is very low – sometimes it has to warm up. Not all keys work – maybe 10 of the 61 are dodgy (theres a delay) and the pots are noisy. The case shows wear and tear, especially on the feet and the back. The digital display and the number selector doesn’t work correctly – sometimes different numbers show – i.e. a 7 for a 1. Sometimes, pressing a parameter button will trigger a note – quite odd – sometimes a weird high pitched buzzing sound is played alongside a note. Defiantly a project for a someone who knows what they are doing and TBH I don’t have the time or patient to mess around with it. ” Click here to visit listing on eBay
