Initial inspection
and dismantling. |
Original un-restored
patch selector panel and pitch ribbon surround (dismantled). |
Selector buttons
& pitch ribbon electronics. |
Control panel. |

A modulator card.
The 12m is the factory tested value for the Polycom chip (each chip varied
and had to be hand tested). A resistor is soldered between the caps to
achieve the factory spec value, balancing the brightness of the sound. |
TL Board. This shows
a botched repair where the bus connector from the keyboard was hard soldered
due to a broken connector plug. This was undone and a proper replacement
fitted. |
Key contacts which
require cleaning. This view is the underside of the keyboard. |
Keys removed to expose
the key combs and bushes. As sold this PM had a dead key and the keyboard
was in bad shape requiring a total rebushing and refit. This is common
on all Polymoogs due to age. |

The bushes are the
plastic pieces on the end of each key comb and almost always are the first
thing to be replaced on any Pratt & Reed keyboard. |
Keyboard chassis
cleaned and bushes removed. New replacement bushes were specially ordered. |
Voice selector panel
after a touch up paint job. The legend for each sound is printed on a
silver reflective tape. Fortunately this is un-damaged. |
The voice selector
and pitch ribbon cleaned, painted and remounted. |
