“My interest in electronic music goes back to the early sixties when I was first exposed to the Moog (I think it was among the first ones built – it was VERY hand-done) and started fooling with a tape recorder and homemade relaxation oscillators, electronic switches, etc. I owned the first ARP 2600 in Mississippi (it was sometimes used at Malaco Studios, of which you might have heard, by visiting artists) and still have two of them in various states of disrepair — I’ll put them up on eBay when I feel up to cataloging their faults and packing large things.
This sequencer was later part of my home studio set-up, dates from the mid to late 70′s, and is something I DO feel like packing up. But it has some problems, and not being an expert technician (nor an expert keyboardist, either, as my eBay name indicates!) I don’t feel up to investigating DIY repairs.
Enough with the personal history, you say. Ok.
Here’s a description: First, it looks pretty good, noting some anomalous grunge on the front panel under the Start button (visible in photo). Next, the sliding pots are sticky, as would be expected after having lain fallow for some years. The big thing is, the clock is uncontrollable and has tachycardia — it beats as fast as it can at any setting. That’s probably not a big deal to someone who’s worked on these things. I can’t make any assurances about output voltages and quantizing accuracy, but there are a lot of trimmers for those, as you probably know if you’re looking at this listing.
The good part is, the LEDs sequence and step, and the device responds appropriately to “random” and “sequence.” The 16/8 switch does what it’s supposed to. It will also trigger with the foot switch, and the deal includes both types of foot-pedals, the push-on push-off and the push-on release-off.
The serial # is 16130221.
For those seriously interested, I will be happy to conduct any tests you request, if they can be performed with the instrumentation at my disposal, which extends only to a DVM and a ‘scope. ” Link
“This ARP 1613 sequencer is in excellent condition, no missing slider tips, no dings or dents, no modifications, and includes the original owners manual, unused preset sheet pad, ARP software and Accessory Catalog, and the important notice that some synthesizers will have to be modified to operate with the 1613 (the early Axxe and Odyssey synths didn’t have CV/gate outs). It also includes a photocopy of the service manual (not pictured). Works fine, at least it did the last time I used it with my Odyssey which is now gone. I have no way to test it, but it was chugging along fine a year ago when I boxed it up. These are scarcely seen items and this one has the original paperwork to go with it. There is one tiny scratch on the bottom about an inch long and some tape residue on the bottom which I didn’t clean off. Apart from that it’s perfect. It’s used so it’s sold as is, but check my feedback and bid accordingly. I will return if you plug it into your working ARP synthesizer and it doesn’t sequence, I can’t test it but it never gave me any trouble.” Link

“We have a an ARP 1613 Sequencer for sale!
This unit works well and as intended.
Circuitry and construction are original to the unit.
Jacks and controls operate properly.
The red fader tip for the “Clock Freq” control and one rubber foot are missing.
The unit shows some cosmetic scratching and wear from age and use, but is sturdy overall.
The faders and buttons operate well, but could use cleaning/lubrication before going into heavy usage.
Unit is guaranteed to be working on arrival.
In a world where analog-style sequencers have come en vogue again, one unit stands alone.
The ARP Sequencer is the standard by which all others are judged.
Get it into your studio and let the diabolical experimentation begin.
Do it now.” Link
