Up for sale is a vintage Boss SP-505 Groove Sampling Workstation coming straight out of a smoke-free studio environment. This classic machine is a legendary tool for lo-fi hip-hop and electronic music producers, famous for its incredible vinyl simulator effect and gritty sonic character.Condition & Technical Disclosures (Please Read Carefully):
This unit is being sold strictly AS-IS for parts or repair. It boots up and functions mechanically, but the audio I/O needs attention. Specifically:
- The Left Output jack is glitchy/intermittent.
- The Left Input jack is glitchy/intermittent.
- The Headphone jack is glitchy/intermittent.
The issues appear to be typical oxidation or cracked internal solder joints on the audio jacks from years of standard cable use—a very common and straightforward fix for anyone handy with a soldering iron or looking for a bench project. Aside from the jacks, the unit has been tested as thoroughly as possible. All pads feel good, the screen is legible, and the buttons/dials are intact.Includes:
- Boss SP-505 Unit Only
- SmartMedia card
- Note: Does NOT include a power adapter.
Because of the disclosed audio jack issues and lack of power supply, this unit is priced accordingly to leave plenty of room for repair costs or DIY value. No returns or refunds will be accepted for the defects described.Ships quickly and securely packed. Thanks for looking!
