ABOUT US:

If you're into vintage gear, you've probably seen our website before.
We've been buying, refurbishing & selling vintage synths and electronic musical instruments for 30 years. 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 legitimate business with real business expenses, not your typical amateur seller disguised as a Reverb store. Please click on our user name to read more about our shop so you better understand our high standards and prices. You get what you pay for.

Reverb and merchant fees are high and have been factored into our prices here.

ITEM DETAILS:

This unit came to us in very good working order, but we like our gear to be better than the rest, so we paid our tech for nearly 20 hours of work to give it a full no-expense-spared meticulous refurbishing and future-proofing to make it as good as it can possibly be. This work of course adds significant value to this item and should make it a lot more reliable overall than other examples out there. Here’s what was done to this unit:

Repairs performed: 

-Replaced 4 imperfect front panel potentiometers with new ones
-Replaced LFO volume mod LED (the new one is brighter than the originals - see pic)
-Cleaned several tact switches with less than perfect performance
-Bad connection molex connector between upper and lower board so replaced receptacle

Value-added preventative work most other sellers don’t do that should hopefully greatly increase future reliability:

-Cleaned inside and out
-Removed and cleaned all rubber key contacts and circuit board contacts
-Replaced all power supply capacitors
-Replaced bridge diode power supply
-Replaced both power supply trimpots
-Replaced 2 power supply IC sockets
-Replaced all 4051 CMOS IC chips
-Replaced battery
-Reloaded patches
-Replaced molex connector terminals
-Replaced front panel section electrolytic capacitors
-Replaced all electrolytic capacitors in power line on voice board
-Replaced precision resistors on voice board with more precise ones for better auto-tuning
-Replaced all trimpots for VCO tuning
-Recalibrated all oscillators, filters, VCAs and envelope times (necessary after doing the above work)
-Replaced both wooden end pieces with new ones
-Performed multiple systematic tests to ensure perfect function and reliability. All tests passed with flying colors.

You’re unlikely to find a better example anywhere, and no, we will not price match with inferior junk being sold by other usually amateur but also professional sellers selling lesser examples. You get what you pay for.
