Poly-800 MkII mods, part 1 (yay parts!)

The pots I was waiting for were in the mail today, so I did the first round of mods. These mods are all documented elsewhere, so I won’t bother repeating all the info here. I just did the noise level & “Moog slayer” mods for now.

Here’s a shot of the main board with the trim pots for the filter cutoff & resonance and noise level removed:

Here’s shots of the new knobs (filter, then noise level):

One hint which I don’t remember seeing online elsewhere is that you want to use a reverse-action knob for the noise level.

Next I’m going to replace two trim pots on the delay board with front-panel knobs:

delay-labels1

The knobs will go to the right of the noise level knob, in the middle of the two blank spaces, like the noise knob.
