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 high, 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:


Like nearly all the high end vintage analog synths we sell, this item has been FULLY serviced by professionals who’ve been servicing and selling vintage synths for more than the last 2 decades, and systematically tested multiple times over a long period to ensure it’s working exactly as it should.  No BS. No ebay surprises. We’re perfectionists and don’t cut corners. Although this instrument came to us in relatively good shape, we want our items to be better than the rest and invested *many* hours of tech time plus parts costs to fully overhaul this unit so it would be clean, working like new again and as reliable as possible for its next owner. This was a serious investment of time, love, and money, and was definitely worth the effort and is of course reflected in the higher than usual price. If you’re looking for a great sounding example of this model that works just like it should without needing to invest hundreds or thousands of dollars in tech fees and waiting from weeks to years, this one should make you very happy.  


This Prophet VS has been meticulously serviced and is working exactly as it should.


Tech notes:
Cleaned unit inside and out.
Cleaned all pots and key contacts.
Replaced display with a much better one that can easily be seen in the dark.
Replaced battery.
Reloaded patches.
Replaced aftertouch sensors as the originals rarely work anymore.
Replaced power supply capacitors as a preventative measure.
Reflowed certain solder joints as a preventative measure.
Performed multiple burn in tests.
Verified that all functions are working properly.

Note: As usual, the aftertouch response on the bottom and top keys may not work as well as other parts of the keyboard, due to design.
