“Korg Polysix PS-6, reluctant sale of my 1982 vintage analogue programmable Synthesizer. I’ve owned this synth from new, it’s never been gigged and only used in a home studio setting.
These synths are now very collectable, and are getting quiet rare on the UK retro market, only ones I can see currently on sale are in Japan or the US, some non working ones I’ve seen advertised for more than I originally paid back in 1982!
Please check online for full technical specs.
The synth is in great shape for its age, physically there are some small chips out of the wooden end cheeks ( I have seen a lot worse on eBay claiming to be mint)
There are also some fine scratches above the attenuator knob on the front panel and some on the letters K and O of the Korg logo on the rear panel, I have photographed them as best I could to show.
The mains input is now on a standard IEE socket with a supplied lead, it is UK 240v 3 pin.
The original Leakey Nicad battery has been replaced once in its lifetime, and a repair to the PCB done at the same time a number of years ago.
I have another new PCB battery which is included in the sale, but I’ve not got the ability to do the replacement myself.
All the pots and switches work ok, although the volume pot is a little crackly when not used for a while, contact cleaner would most probably sort
that out.
In the area of the volume pot there is the slightest dint in the metal front panel, it is hardly noticeable, and I’ve shown it as best I can in photo No9.
The keyboard contacts have been cleaned sometime ago, but when not regularly used a couple of keys become hesitant at first, but are fine after a bit of use, mainly top G.
There is an extra jack socket fitted to the rear panel, it’s not connected to anything.” Click here to visit listing on eBay
