“Sequential Circuits Prophet 2002 Plus Digital Sampler Synthesizer Rackmount version of Prophet 2000. Has analog filters. 12 bit resolution in an age of 8 bit, this thing was Ace in it’s day and still a strong tool for sound design.
Sequential Prophet 2002 Plus is with the upgraded memory and individual voice outputs. Including a printed and bound manual, IEC power cord. No wall wart or bulky brick!
Used condition is:
Minor scratches and rash and slight bit of paint splatter on one side, also missing one knob on the balance control but all of this was purchased this way. All functions work with only one particular quirk: the switch on the back that provides midi thru/out select wore down and broke off but has been adapted with jumpers accessible by opening the unit. Disk drive is great and have successfully formatted disks to ensure all is working well.”

” I’m not going to even try to “sugarcoat” this vintage Arp Axxe monolithic Synthesizer. It LOOK’s terrible! Some of the control sliders finger tabs are broken off, but can still be moved with your fingernail, (not convenient but it works). It looks as if the previous owner cleaned the unit every day, all the panel flow diagrams are almost worn off and hard to read. The keyboard is in good condition – cosmetically and the does work, but all the contacts need cleaning and do clean up.
I have dabbled with keyboards and synthesizers for many years, as an technician, not a musician.This Arp AXXE does have a heartbeat! I plugged it in this morning and found that many of the functions work as they should! The oscillators, VCO & LFO’s work, Noise Gen. works, VCA works, Mixer works, Envelope Generator (ASDR) work. As I mentioned above many of the electrical contacts need cleaning in order to eliminate some of the “dead or scratchy spots”. Alcohol and Q-tips seem to work well. The circuit board seems to be original – no modifications and it appears that it has never been removed. This vintage synthesizer IS NOT DOA and with some TLC it should function ALMOST as it did when it was new.”

“I have had this matrix 6 for at least 10 years. I don’t really want to sell it, but my car needs the transmission rebuilt and as you may know that is expensive. Something has to go!
If you don’t know anything about the Oberheim Matrix Six, it six has that sweet analog sound that everybody wants, six Oscillators and full midi capability. velocity and pressure sensitive keys. This is an undervalued gem, grab it while they are still affordable.
It has been upgraded to the newest firmware, everything worked great when I put it away. Brought it out to sell and everything still works great as far as I can tell, I can select patches with the keypad, I can play music, and pleasing sounds then come out of my speakers.
Comes with what I believe to be the original foot pedal, a power cable, And the heaviest duty keyboard case I’ve ever seen, it is a tank! Unfortunately the foam is deteriorating, so you’ll have to re-foam it before you can really use it. I will ship the keyboard in the ATA case but will use extra bubble wrap inside to protect it since the foam is falling apart.”

“This is an Elektron Sidstation I bought new a long time ago. This saw very little use before going in storage. I just got it out, made and saved a patch, and tried running a synth through the filter, and everything worked as expected.
The synth has some cosmetic defects, including some scratches on the rear panel. There’s also a mark leading to a line across the bend between the top and the back which I believe was there when new. The pictures show the defects I mentioned and may show other ones I missed. The box has a significant amount of wear and tear, and the foam is discolored, but it is still usable. I will use an outer box for shipping. There’s no manual included”

” This synth has seen light use in my studio and was never toured, however I am not the original owner.
The physical condition is 7 of 10. Some of the finish is worn and faded, and the sides have a few dings and dents. All pots, knobs, faders and ports are in good condition.
Functionally, its 8.5 of 10. As you can see, the synth passes a tuning test and appears to function without obvious issues. That said, this is vintage gear — tuning is a bit unsteady, needs 20+ minutes of warmup before use, occasionally a button might need to be pressed twice — you get the idea. But all outputs work, and it sounds DIVINE. ”

” It’s a blue Waldorf Q with the standard 16 voices.
I bought it on this very website a few years ago, but ended up not using it very much. It is clean and in good condition (see photos). I tested it before boxing it up and verified it is fully functional, but here are the known issues:
– Some scuffs and dents on corners.
– Chip in the rubber on cutoff knob.
– Left output is bent inward, but works fine.
– Second ‘C’ key sticks up slightly, about the width of penny or dime.
– A few other small nicks and scratches.
Also, I cleaned it awhile back including the inside and noticed that a pin on the socket for the voice expansion board is bent. If by some chance you happen to have an expansion board you want to install, you will need to carefully bend the pin back into place or install a new header on the board.
Comes with a 6′ power cable, not pictured.”

“Now listing my EML 500 for sale after owning it for 40+ years. This synth is much more rare than Moog, ARP etc. synths of yesteryear. Very few of these exist. There was way less production than those other popular synths. It has been stored and covered inside my home studio room for decades, never been outside. I bought it used at a local music store in the 1970’s. It hasn’t been played much for over 20+ years, I just turn it on occasionally. That said, it does need some TLC and cleaning etc. to bring it up to snuff.”

“Roland SH 1000. Good Physical condition, Minor Faults. 1973.. Condition is Used. Dispatched by courier 3 working days, collection welcome.
Roland SH 1000 Synthesizer, 1973, first Roland synthesizer, with original hard case and music stand.
The synth is complete although a few of the knobs are loose and some are damaged. It’s about 99% operational, all of the pre-sets work, as does the proper analogue control bit and it could easily be used as is, however, there are a couple of issues, the pot marked ‘sine/square rate’ in the mod.gen section and the tremelo amp. mod. pot, are stuck, as far as i can tell everything works as it should and it seems likely to me that it’s just the pots themselves that need replacing or even just freeing up. ”

“Up for sale is our Classic and so Sweet Juno 6.
The original juno 6 is known to many as the best of the Juno series. There’s something different about the oscillators and filter i believe. We, at one point, compared it to a Juno 60 and a Juno 106. The original 6 had a slightly bigger and beefier sound than that of the 60 (although the 60 offered patch recall). The 106 was the smoothest but lacked the “attitude” of the 6. For these reasons we have kept and used this Juno 6 for years and used it on many recordings. It has always deliver the BEST of the juno sound.
This Juno 6 is in great condition. ALL keys work, Its in tune, ALL buttons work, all jacks work. Plus it looks great for its age. The only issues to note for full disclosure are while all sliders on the main panel work.. some are a little stiffer than others. But they all work. Also, in the area of the pitch wheel.. the filter assignment to the pitch wheel seems to have no effect. Not sure if we are doing it right : ) or if that fader has issues.
BTW, The pics show a missing fader cap on the pitch wheel area, we have found it, so it WILL be included : )”

The octave transpose switch needs replacing (see photo 3)
The sticking-up bit of the pitch bend wheel has broken off – it still functions fine though. (see photo 3)”
