@lexpie Thank you!

@Progtologue Ah, that is another problem I have seen on these units as well. The MM5823N IC's are no longer avaliable, but I found a guy in England that makes them from CMOS IC's. I can guarentee they will work great for you because that is what is in mine and I have had them in it for about 3 years now without having any problems linked to them. I will e-mail you the information because youtube will not let me post web addresses up in comments.

@Progtologue Hi Patrick,
Glad to hear my videos interest you. Sounds like you have bad divider IC's (MM5823N). Can you tell me which notes it is that are dead? Is the dead notes only on one octave or the full scale of the keyboard? Also, is there any notes that makes sound, but only with one oscillator? The reason I ask these questions is so I can tell you exactly which chip or chips you have that may be bad.
Feel free to contact me any time if you have questions.
Take care,
Jareth

bravo, great job!!!!
are polymoogs really such a pain to own? I would love to buy one, but my technical knowledge would not allow me to do anything on it..

Not that I'm moaning, it's what Vox Humana was created for lol!

@grabngonuts Thank you very much! I agree with you. I also like the sound of Arp synths.
Again, I'm impressed by the care you take in your restorations. And you have a great knowledge about the electronics. I enjoy your progress reports very much!
I think most of your restoration videos were filmed by you, but in this one you have a camera operator. Can you tell us who it is?
Thanks Jareth!

@dburns Thank you so very much, I am very glad that you like my videos!
You are correct, I do not film all of my videos. My brother filmed for me on these videos.
Take care and thanks again,
Jareth

Good man!... keep up the great work. You will be proud of your polymoog when it is fully restored. So refreshing to see younger people taking an interest in electronics and restoration. Well done you! :0)
