# ARP Odyssey
“This classic pre ’75 two oscillator analog synthesiser is externally in good condition and comes complete with rare inclusions from the original purchase.
A technician has recently given the synth a basic service, cleaning all pots and switches but a complete calibration by an experienced synth tech familiar with the ARP is required to bring this unit back to perfect working order.
Electronically, even after a good clean and lubrication, several of the slider pots are functional but still a bit scratchy (probably due to the extended storage) and need some additional maintenance. If required t
hese slider pots are still available as replacement parts from http://www.synthparts.com/ and cost just $8.00 so that’s not a big deal. Synthparts.com also stock a range of other ARP spares so service into the future looks good.
This ARP has never been “on the road” so cosmetically it has only a few small marks/scratches and some wear on the facia from normal use. I’ve included close-up photos of the top panel showing the worst flaws.
The gold paint in some areas is a bit dull from use. This ARP has had only one owner and has never had any rough treatment so there are no major dings, but there is a small, shallow dent on the back panel above the logo (visible in the rear panel photo) which was probably caused by the power plug. Overall it presents very clean for it’s age and use.
Please check out the detailed photos to get a sense of the external condition yourself before bidding.
