“Please look online for tech info about this synth, as i dont relaly know much about them.
I also have a manual and schematics on CD from this if wanted.

There are some good and bad points, so please read below. I am not an expert, so inspection is welcome, but i
will try to be as clear as possible.

-Firstly and most importantly the unit works. all the knobs and faders seem do what they should.
-Some knobs and faders are alittle scratchy and could use a clean.
-The keyboard needs a service or the contacts may need a clean, as some keys play out of tune notes, and some dont work randomly etc.
-One of the knobs (fine tune in VCO2) is missing (the actual shaft is broken, so probably needs a new pot, although it still works as-is)
-The rear panel is missing (never bothered to put one on it as it has been sitting on a desk all the time ive had it.)
-The rear sockets are a little rusty and it could probably could use new ones as they are fairly cheap.
-a couple of screws are missing from the side panels – see pics.

NOTE – the pics show one more knob missing from the “keyboard control” in the VCF section, but i have the knob, it just fell off for the pic

feel free to ask any non-technical questions. but please remember i am not a synth person and i dont really understand them that well :) Link
