Super Early Production Poly 800 Battery Addition
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Hey all! I’ve got a very early production Poly 800 that my dad bought back in early ‘83. As he recalls, buying it pretty much as soon as they were released. We’re trying to get a few of his old synths back to tip top condition- This , a Moog Prodigy and a Polysix (battery disaster but almost back to “new”).</p> <p>Since this is a super early production mk1 it not only doesn’t have the coin cell battery memory like the later units, it doesn’t even have the pads in place to add a battery like the early units ( not as early as this though!)</p> <p>I’ve found a few people referencing a battery add mod involving tapping in to a trace and removing a diode and cap for these super early poly 800s but all links to pages explaining the mod to be dead.</p> <p>Can anyone help? Thanks!</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/thegreatbrendini"> /u/thegreatbrendini </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/iux7qn/super_early_production_poly_800_battery_addition/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/iux7qn/super_early_production_poly_800_battery_addition/">[comments]</a></span>
