Synthpro's New Polymoog Restoration (video #4)

Hi everyone,

This is just a quick video I made of the progress on the polymoog 203a that I have been restoring.

Right now, I am working on the logic program boards which is made up of the CL, (control Right) and te CR, (control Left) circuit boards, this is where the presets are made and also where you can switch from preset to variation mode. Still working the logic bugs out right now but it is almost complete even though it does not look it.

I did rebuild the Faratron power supply as well and I have replaced the Linear voltage regulators to make it more stable than the before and also took care of some really bad repairs that were made by other people before me.

excellent video my friend.

@swankrecords Thank you!

Hope this isn't a stupid question, but what's the bubble wrap on the keyboard for?

[synthpro]

@raymangold22 That is not a stupid question at all, I put the bubble rap over the keys to keep the circuit boards from scratching them up and also from causing a short when the circuit boards lay against the metal part of the keys.

Take care,

Jareth

[synthpro]

@soundmanhaven1 Oh yes, very much work is going into this polymoog. Will let you know when I bring it back to life.

Take care,

Where will you get a new button to replace the melted one (or won't that be seen)? The number buttons look like the ones used on old cash registers or lift panels of the time. Could buttons fron other old items be used instead?

Good work, interesting thoughts on the shunt-resistors vs the caps on the logicboard. Thanks a lot, keep up the good work!

@synthpro I will do the best I can, I'm sure if I can just get in there and clean it just a tad it will work wonders. Thank you!

@GNeuman Thank you!
