ITEM DETAILS:

Paia was always a cost-effective alternative to the pricey modular synths of the 70s. They were often sold as kits so were very popular among DIY synth people and electronics hobbyists. The beauty of Paia gear is that it's very simple and most if not all of the parts are still readily available from electronics suppliers. Paia gear sounds like nothing else. Its got a certain low-fidelity sound to it, but thats a major part of its charm. If you're new to vintage modular synths and want a real one but are on a limited budget, this may be a good place to start. Of course if you already own Paia gear, this would probably make a very nice expansion to your current system. This stuff is hard to find when you want it, so buy now before it's gone.

This system needs work and is being sold as-is. When we first got it, it wasn't working, so our tech replaced some caps in the power supply. Once he powered it up, he determined it had other problems that needed fixing, but tech time is limited and we need to focus on higher valued items. Since most people into Paia gear are also into DIY electronics and enjoy restoration projects, we decided to sell this system as is. Please don't buy it if you're not prepared to fix it or know someone who can fix it for you.

Please contact us and wait to hear back before attempting to buy this item. eBay’s shipping calculator won’t be accurate as we need to send this system as 3 separate packages and there’s no way to do that using the calculator. Estimated packing and shipping costs within the US or Canada should be somewhere around $300 and around $1100 or so for international (we use UPS and its expensive). But this is just an estimate, so if you’d like to buy this system and these figures are within your budget, please contact us with your location so we can try to adjust the calculator so it’s more accurate. Thanks for reading!
