Roland JX-8P Vintage Analogue Polyphonic Synthesizer – Made in Japan

For sale is a Roland JX-8P 61-key programmable analogue synthesizer, manufactured in Japan in December 1984 (according to ). The synth powers on and is functional, with the classic warm Roland analogue sound that made the JX series famous. The display is bright and clear, and the front panel controls appear present and intact.

Condition

This unit is in fair cosmetic condition and shows significant signs of age and use. The metal chassis has numerous scratches, scuffs, surface marks, and areas of oxidation/rust, particularly along the front edge and rear panel. Please review photos carefully for an accurate representation of the cosmetic condition.

Here is a video of me playing the keyboard:

Known Issues

• One key is broken (marked with a red sticker in the photos).
• One key is intermittently faulty (marked with a yellow sticker in the photos). It sometimes triggers correctly and sometimes does not.
• Aside from the above, the keyboard is operational, though due to the age of the instrument I cannot guarantee that every function has been exhaustively tested.
• May benefit from servicing, cleaning, and general maintenance expected of a vintage synthesizer of this age.

Included

• Roland JX-8P synthesizer
• Attached power cable
