ABOUT US:
If you're into vintage gear, you've probably
come across our website. We've been buying, refurbishing and selling vintage
synths and other electronic musical instruments for close to 30 years now.
We're perfectionists and take our business, our gear, and our customers very
seriously, so buy with full confidence - we won't let you down.
Our prices here may seem, but we are a legit business with real business
expenses, not your typical amateur seller with a Reverb store. Please click on
our user name to read more about our
shop so you better understand our prices & high standards. Reverb and merchant
fees are of course already added into our prices here.
ITEM DETAILS:
This is an early serial number unit (sn26x).
This EML-101, like all 101s we have sold in recent times, was meticulously refurbished - fully disassembled, cleaned inside and out, fully serviced and future-proofed so it will hopefully continue to work flawlessly for many years to come. This complete overhaul took 30 hours of very experienced vintage synth tech time, resulting in an instrument thats better than any other of its type you'll find, and this is reflected in its price.
Work done includes:
Keyboard fully rebuilt with new bushings, bus bar and contacts cleaned, keys removed and cleaned. replaced power supply capacitors as well as caps in the filter and oscillator sections that we see commonly fail. jacks cleaned, replaced washers and nuts, cleaned up panel, painstakingly opened, cleaned and lubed pots, cleaned and lubed switches to eliminate crackle found in most examples of this instrument, cleaned and tightened keyboard connector, recalibrated so everything plays in tune.
This unit was also tested over a long period of time to ensure reliability. As a result of all this effort, it's better than others on the market, is working perfectly and is ready to play, no surprises and no excuses. You won't find a better EML-101 anywhere.
Want one for a lower price? We may have another that's not quite as nice that we'd sell for less, but it won't include the meticulous refurbishing we did to this one. We recommend buying our refurbished unit instead as the money you'll save initially will have to be spent eventually if you can find a tech who's experienced enough to restore it like we do.
