Hi,
I'm Marc. I recently discovered Polymoog 203a #4129 in a derelict music studio in Singapore being used as a table.
It says Feb 1980 under the bonnet so she must be a very late unit - last 20 or 30? (Does anyone know the final serial number?). She'd been in the same studio for 36 years so apart from a few understandable issues (Tantalum caps blown, etc.) is actually in top notch condition. I had her flightcased (no easy task in itself) and shipped back in London where she's halfway through repair and restoration by Simon at Funky Junk.
I also pulled a Roland SH2 and Linndrum out of the wreckage. Both working but need repair.
I saw a post from a fellow in China looking for a Poly. I do warn him that there is NO ONE in East Asia who specialises in these things. Everything HAS to go back to Europe / US for repair and when you are shipping a brute like the Poly around, that's not cheap.
On the other hand, I could hardly let the old girl go to the rubbish dump, could I?
