“EML Electrocomp 400/401 Synthesizer Sequencer. Condition is Used. I bought this around 1980. It was first purchased by Cumberland College, now University of the Cumberlands. The music department wanted a synth, and then decided that this is not what they are after. I then purchased it from a local music store that brokered the deal. The number 503 is etched into the back. Not sure if this is the SN since only 300 were reported to be made. It is missing two plastic tabs on the sliders. Was serviced around 15 years ago and then put away. All sliders and switches work. Both oscillators sound but need some adjustment. Osc 1 is louder than osc 2 and is tuned a bit low. Being pure analog a service tech should be able to rectify this. Sold as is. A great piece to restore and flip.
About the unit. 401 refers to the synth section and 400 is the sequencer. It is designed so that multiple 400 units can be chained together. The sequencer has two sections of 16 x 3 sliders that can run in series or parallel. The synth is a basic 2 osc 1 filter unit. Note that EML does not operate on the standard 1 volt per octave ratio used by most modular gear. It is something like 1.2 volts per octave. This can be adjusted through simple CV scaling enabled by various modules, or you can ignore the standard when using it to drive filter and other parameters that are not note specific.”

“Kawai K4 16 Bit Digital Synthesizer Keyboard Works Great No Power Supply. Condition is Used. Includes soft case – but as you can see in the pictures, one side of the shoulder strap for the soft case has broken off.
This great sounding keyboard is in excellent working, excellent sounding shape. The power supply is not the original, but it works perfectly with this piano. The keyboards keys are all working and the selector buttons are switching through the various preset sounds as they should be. The keyboard shows some typical signs of cosmetic wear from use, but still makes a great overall impression.”

“Vintage Oberheim DSX Digital Polyphonic Sequencer. Shipped with USPS Parcel Select Ground.
no cables included
The main circuit board shows some corrosion (see pictures). The Capacitors were tested to be good, but the battery only showed .1V,
All buttons on the interface and the display were tested and were good (I plugged in the interface board into a working unit to test). So it appears that the problem is with the main board. Not sure it can be fixed. May be better off used for parts as the control board is in great shape.
Version 2 board.
Please note the scratch between the D and the X on the cover.”

“
This gorgeous Memorymoog is an extremely rare and valuable instrument. It is a low serial number (1047) model with black side panels (few had black sides; most are silver). It was thoroughly overhauled in 2013 by Rudi Linhard to become a Lintronics Advanced Memorymoog (LAMM). Lintronics also replaced the original red LEDs with blue LEDs, and replaced the solid black mod wheels with luminescent blue LED wheels, motivating Rudi Linhard to nickname this monster “Blue Beast”.
The synth has also been meticulously maintained and further refined by Retrolinear, Inc., one of the premier vintage electronics repair and restoration companies (see Retrolinear’s website for their “A-list” band clients). Among other things, Retrolinear replaced the original power supply with an upgraded unit. The new supply is much lighter. More importantly, it is also silent. (Factory Memorymoogs used a noisy fan.) Retrolinear has also restored or replaced keybed elements and voice chips. All six voices tune.
Included in the sale is a custom flight case fabricated by Mark Dehart at Rock Hard Road Cases. Also included are copies of original Moog Memorymoog service and technical manuals; the Lintronics LAMM manual; and documents showing the LAMM and maintenance work provided.
A “regular” Memorymoog in good shape is an incredible find. The Blue Beast’s feature set and condition, however, are unmatched. You can see from the photos that, cosmetically, the Blue Beast is exceptional. It sounds better than it looks. The Blue Beast has lived in my home studio and has never been gigged or loaned.”

It includes all the original parts found in the classic models from the 70’s including the coveted 1st generation Moog oscillators.
This MiniMoog had a “Studio Electronics” midi installation but it has been lovingly removed and brought back to it’s original specification by former Moog employee and synth expert Nick Montoya. And comes with it’s purchase, a 6 month warranty. Everything has been restored to “like new” performance and playability. “

“Moog Prodigy 32-Key Monophonic Analog Synthesizer. Condition is Used and needs work.
This is a great vintage keyboard that needs some TLC. How much? I’m not exactly sure and that’s why the offer price is so low. What I do know is that I purchased this item new around 1981. When I was testing it, just prior to listing on eBay, I broke the high F# key. Parts (black key) are available here on eBay for around $15 and YouTube videos are available on how to repair this. A great design and easy to fix. The wheels are a bit discolored due to the playing environment they were exposed to 35 years ago. Of course there are normal wear – nicks and scratches. The only work I’ve performed is cleaning it up a bit and working the pots and switches with Deoxit D5 contact cleaner. It does play, but certainly needs more attention before it is gig worthy.
In addition, like many VCO based vintage synths, you must allow it time to warmup before playing. 30 minutes is a good starting point. If you start playing before it warms up very disconcerting sounds are heard and the keyboard does not function properly. When it fully warms up it works okay except for the broken issue.
This unit is definitely sold as is with the buyer’s understanding that this keyboard needs work – at least an F# black key replacement. It could be as little as that. I don’t know. Ideally, this is for someone who is handy with this sort of thing or is willing to take it to a professional for additional preparation and reconditioning.”
