About this listing
I am selling my Akai S900 that is cosmetically in absolute Museum Condition, probably the closest to MINT you will be able to still get your hands on. One of the best sounding iconic vintage samplers ever produced, beautiful design. This S900 worked like a charm, but: I used a custom correct fitting floppy emulator that is not part of the sale, will use it in my EMAX. So for the sale I placed back the old original floppy drive that is not performing as it should, maybe cuased by the boot-up disk, maybe caused by the drive itself. Its not making strange sounding mechanical noises though. So to boot up you need to replace the now placed floppy drive for an emulator first. Nowadays there are perfect fitting ones available just from Ebay, or go cheap with a Gotek. Neeeh.This sale comes very complete, with:Museum State Akai S900Rare Atari Hard Drive Connection i/o Expansion Original ManualGrey Power CableIf you are not only a musician but also a collector, like me, this is it. Grab this one while you can. Only selling to have funds for a Waldorf Wave, so price is fixed. Are there cheaper S900's? Most likely. Are they ridiculous tight like this one? Most probably not.Since i used it in a dark studio for me the backlight is still good enough, but if you feel like making it perfect, a backlight for an S900 costs close to nothing. See pictures for backlight action, actually its quite okay, but to avoid discussion...The push buttons are notorious for yellowing, also this ones are not mint, but I have seen MUCH worse.Its a heavy unit, so I can't ship cheaper than this.Pictures are part of the description.

For over 30 years I expanded my private studio to an enormous playground of fun. I am the first owner of the pieces I put here for sale or I bought them in great condition through the decades on the used market, never saving money on finding the best possible physical and technical state. Of course these are vintage items, so it can happen that there are some touch-ups or imperfections on the sliders/buttons/knobs by the time of sale, only global functions are tested to work before shipping out. This item is sold as is, so no warranty of any kind and no possibility to return this gear. Local pick-up is preferred to avoid any risk on damage or lost during shipping, in that case contact me before buying. Shipping is only offered at your own risk. Will be shipped FAST & VERY WELL PACKED, like delicate vintage gear deserves and I would like to receive a package myself. I will put maximum effort in getting the synth safe at your doorstep and can on request update you with pictures of the package and the damping protection used for you to approve. Any import or tax duty is for the buyer and depends on the country you live in.---------------------------Synth related search words (items not included within this sale!): Keyboard | Synthesizer | Piano | Organ | Workstation | Drum Machine | Sampler | Sequencer | Modular | VST Plugin | Virtual Instruments | Sound Module | Groove Box | Eurorack | Music Production | Recording Studio | DAW Software | Beat Production | Access Virus | Akai | Alesis | Analogue Solutions | Antonus | ARP | Arturia | ASM | Behringer | Black Corporation | Boss | Buchla | Casio | Clavia Nord | Crumar | Dave Smith | Dexibell | Doepfer | Dreadbox | E-mu | Electronic Dream Plant (EDP) | Electronic Music Studios (EMS) | ElecÂtro HarÂmonix | Elektron | Elka | EML | Ensoniq | Erica Synths | Eventide | Fairlight | Farfisa | GRP Synthesizer | Hammond | Hohner | Jen Electronics | Jomox | Kawai | Kenton | Ketron | Korg | Kurzweil | Linn | M-Audio | Modal Electronics | Moog | Native Instruments | Nektar | Novation | Oberheim | Oxford Synthesiser Company | Pioneer DJ | PreSonus | PPG | Quasimidi | Radial Engineering | Rhodes | Rocktron | Roger Linn Design | Roland | Sequential | Steiner-Parker | Steinway & Sons | Studio Electronics | Technics | TeenÂage EnÂginÂeerÂing | Teisco | UDO Audio | Vermona | Viscount | Vox | Waldorf | Wurlitzer | Yamaha | Guitar | Drums | DJ | MIDI Controllers
