One of my all-time favorite synths. I've owned it for a longtime but when I moved last it got packed up and hasn't been used much since.

There are a few screws loose or missing, a few scratchy pots/sliders, and I find the synth section to be quieter than the string section (which I believe is normal), but it sounds gorgeous and blows everyone away when plugged in.

I would recommend some love from a tech. Not a necessity, but probably smart to do given its vintage. As a result, I knocked a little more than $500 off the price to make it attractive.

You are welcome to try it in person before purchasing.

I found a video on youtube of the same model - it is not the same unit for sale.
