Greetings to all, I'm new to this group,
thanks to the moderator for accepting me and to all for the help I'm receiving already, by reading your old posts and thanks to let me share my troubles, not finished yet.
  I own my Polaris since mid 90s, I remember when I bought it to have no idea of what it was, i only knew it was the little brother of the Chroma a friend had and that had impressed me so much. For many years it has been my favorite synth, after a flooding it occurred more than 15 years ago my  unit unfortunately died . Brought to a synth repair center in Italy, the diagnose was that the synth had the switch panel failure, but the repair cost was too high as it needed a dedicated panel, well ok...
It remained in the synths Hades, until yesterday, when once installed the new panels (thanks Paul!) the synth returned to a new life. Following the polarisserviceadjustmentscheckout instructions, I made it playable again, it now keeps the tuning well and it doesn't slowly transform sounds in a bubbling mess. The problem is that all sliders are still unresponsive and as soon as i touch them, data are jumping abruptly from a value to the other.
While testing, I noticed that R45 doesn't seems to affect the master LED behavior, adjusting it the LED remains OFF. If I touch the MASTER slider instead, the LED turns ON and it turns OFF if I place the slider in the MID position (this looks strange to me).
Apart this, the only problem I found in the tests is the voltage at P3 pin1, where I find 2.86v instead 3v.
Thank you!
Max
