I purchased a Polaris off the analog list less than a year ago. The thing
is in almost perfect shape except that it appears two of the oscillators
won't come in tune. The auto-tune says they are, but they aren't. You can
tell when you play a scale, the 5th and 6th notes will just be off by a
couple of tones.

The guy who had it before said he just shut off those oscillators when he
used it, but that tends to take a way a bit of the polyphony.

Now, some people have told me the problem is the row of caps. I pulled it
apart, saw then, priced them etc. But I don't want to resolder a bunch of
these things (I think there were twelve) and then find out it didn't make a
difference.

Also, the machine seems to have "forgotten" everything. There are no
presets, or patches, or anything. I assume those can be reloaded?

I can do basic repairs myself (i.e. replace caps), on the other hand, I'm
not adverse to sending it to someone if they actually know what they're
doing.

Any advice?
