Korg Poly 61 Project Machine

“1983 KORG Poly-61 Poly61 Vintage Analog Synthesizer For Parts or Repair

This keyboard was a victim of battery leakage. The repair shop I took it to tried their best to fix the issues. But, problems still remain. So, it is being sold, “as is”, for parts or repair.

The good:
– Outputs work
– All keys work*
– Memory works (new, jury-rigged, replacement battery)
– Joystick works
– All functions and modes work (poly, chord memory, hold, arpeggiator, tuning, tape load, arpeggio in, etc.)
– LED displays and lights work

The bad:
– Buttons 1, 2 & 3 are hard to get to work with just one touch – usually triggers multiple times
– Missing one screw (and its cam screw on the back side) on the top panel
– *Bottom C, C# and middle C# have contact issues
– Missing one rubber foot on bottom

& The Ugly:
– Back, bottom-right corner is broken off (see pictures)
– Joystick is bent
– Dings and scrapes
– Some non-original bolts on bottom” Click here to search for synths on eBay
