Yamaha SY22

“Yamaha SY22 Synth w/Road Case & Manual

I’m the 2nd owner of this thing, but I’ve had it for nearly 30 years. It works, but could use some minor repair. Details below.

You’ll need a new power supply. $20 on Amazon will get you a new 12V power supply adapter. The one included(a 10V, but it’ll take 10 or 12) with this has a short in the cable, and works most of the time, but is on its last legs.

As for actual repair needs, there appears to be just one:

The far left key(Low C/the last key on the keyboard) is dead. No sound is generated from this key. I can hear what sounds like a tiny screw rolling around inside the keyboard, so maybe that has something to do with it. Again, I’m not a technician, so I’ve been reluctant to dig into the guts of this thing.

Otherwise, all the sounds and functions are operational. The Vector Control still works great, and makes for some cool effects. It’s a little worn, but still in reasonably good shape, considering the age, and it’s seen almost no action for over a decade, so I think it’s mechanically sound, aside from the issues mentioned above.

It also includes a Roadie Case by Hybrid(probably worth $100 by itself), that’s remarkably sturdy, and still in great condition, along with the original manual. I’ll even throw in an X-brace keyboard stand, if you want it.” Click here to visit listing on eBay
