FREE SHIPPING • FULLY RECAPPED MAIN AND PANEL BOARDS • ALL NEW TACTS • NEW DISPLAY • NEW POWER SWITCH • NEW BATTERY • NEW LOWER VOLTAGE PSU Access Virus B Desktop synthesizer in near-mint cosmetic condition and perfect working order. This one sets a new standard for the shop, as it's our 3rd fully recapped Virus B to be released into the wild. In addition to the recap, we've given this gorgeous Virus B a new display, all new tacts, and several other upgrades to bring it as close to like-new condition as possible.This synth has been fully inspected by Captain Black's Gear Emporium. We specialize in synths worth owning and hard to find parts.Details below:• All capacitors on the main board and panel board have been replaced with modern equivalents that were carefully selected to match the characteristics of the original caps from 25+ years ago. • All 30 tact switches have been replaced with high-quality, brand-name tact switches rated for 3 million clicks. They are soft-touch and very close in feel and sound to the original tact switches.• All original ALPS pots are in great shape and none needed replacing.• The LCD display has been replaced with a modern display that closely matches the original OEM colors. Backlight bleed has been addressed, so no internal light spill shines through adjacent push buttons. Note: The display is too bright for our camera, but it looks fantastic in person.• The LCD bezel has been polished to look its best (see photo 14).• The power switch has been replaced, eliminating another common failure point on the Virus B desktop series.• Ships with a high-quality 9V 2.0A power supply that provides more reliable operation than the original 12V 1.0A supplies these units originally shipped with. The lower voltage also allows the unit to run noticeably cooler, especially during extended sessions.• The pitch and mod wheels work perfectly and are nice and clean.• The battery has been replaced with an Energizer CR2032 lithium cell. You should not need to replace the battery for ~10 years.• Updated to the latest OS (4.9).• We have cleaned the unit thoroughly inside and out. Even the knobs have been cleaned and look nearly new. There is no white or greasy buildup like you commonly see on Viruses from this era.• The overall look of this instrument is near-mint, but there are a few minor imperfections in the finish and on the wood sides. Please examine all photos carefully, as we have done our best to document the condition.This unit will be shipped free and fully insured via Reverb Safe Shipping. This means a signature is required for delivery.This is an absolutely beautiful Virus B desktop. With all the maintenance work and upgrades, it's well prepared for its next life.Please message us with any questions :)
