“Roland JX-8P with custom hard case, new power cord and printed manual.
Polyphony – 6 voices
Oscillators – 2 DCO’s per voice (12 oscillators)
Memory – 64 patches + External memory cartridges
Effects – Portamento
VCF – standard VCF
VCA – ADSR envelope
Arpeg/Seq – None
Keyboard – 61 note keyboard with velocity and aftertouch
Control – MIDI In/Out/thru
Fully functional including Midi and stereo outs , with some refresh work done by me. All 64 presets work, all buttons work, bender works, Internal memory works ( the 32 internal memory slots have many custom patches), aftertouch works. Screen is bright.
New battery, with new battery holder ( in 20 years you won’t have to solder a new one in, just pop it in!).
Restored endcap internal fastener channels. (The end cap plastic screw channels on most of these is old and cracks, because people over tighten them. They are mostly cosmetic and not structural. I rebuilt them with CA , new hard plastic channels and Marine Epoxy- please send me any questions)
The outside of the custom flight case is a bit rough, but the foam inside is still fine, and the keyboard fits snug. Brand new rubber feet installed.
The cosmetic condition of the keyboard shell is very good all around, a few bumps and nicks but nothing cracked or broken.” Click here to search for synths on eBay

“This Roland Alpha 1 is in great working condition. All membrane buttons, wheels and switches work as expected. The keys all still play great and have good response. There are some minor scratches (mostly on the bottom) due to being 35 years old but nothing major.
I’ve really enjoyed this synth and primarily bought it because I didn’t want to pay the extremely high prices the other Juno models are going for these days. It does a great job of producing those lush 80’s pads along with a multitude of other patches. I really enjoyed this one, but alas I must make room for more gear and I’m just not using this as much as I’d like. Always used in a smoke free studio, gigged lightly.”

“For sale here is the oft forgotten and thus very affordable, yet extremely rich and lush Alpha Juno 2. I will just say this machine has beautiful analog filters that I love. Vintage Synth Explorer gives it an “Excellent Rating”. This particular synth has very minimal visible wear or noticeable use as you can see in the pictures. It plays beautifully with full functionality. The LCD is very visible (usually means lows hours) and everything functions wonderfully. Included in this package is the Roland PG-300 controller which gives a VCR slider for every parameter in the synth. The PG-300 has a small dent near the logo as visible in the picture and some tape goo from the previous owner. I did want to use a chemical solution in case it damaged the PG-300 to get the goo off – but I’m sure it will come off very easily. Does not affect function at all. ” Click here to search for synths on eBay

“Original Owner – Bought in high school – used / played in band for years. Started playing mostly piano, stopped using the synth, put it in a padded case, and stored it in my basement where it’s been since the early 90s. Minimal wear and tear.
I recently took it out and tested everything out – works great. (I have the PG-200 programmer for it as well – NOT included, but selling in another listing).
** The back panel does have a small bumpy texture to it – see the pics above**
It doesn’t affect the playing at all, and you can’t see it from more than a foot away, but you can feel it.
(I think it must be tiny pieces from the foam in the case it was stored in (which was disintegrating after 25 years), but again, it plays (and looks) fine.)”

“I am the original owner of this Roland Jupiter 6 I purchased new in 1984, with a custom fitted Anvil Flight Case.
The condition is Very Good but is likely closer to Excellent. Used in my home studio to ’95 and local gigs. No heavy road use, but was shipped internationally a few times. Has been mostly stored in its case the last 20 years or so.
Recently refurbished. All sliders, pots, buttons, switches,lights and keys have been checked, cleaned, lubed, exercised or replaced where necessary, new battery installed, midi function checked and memory restored to stock factory presets. The Glide pot was replaced with correct value but doesn’t mount properly and wiggles a bit but works as it should.
The case has some surface rust and cracks in the black plastic but the plywood underneath is good, there is one small dent. All handles, latches, hinges, corners are solid, not loose and lock tight in place as they should. It is out being professionally refoamed now, so I will post a picture of the inside when returned.
The original manual that came with the unit is included and a new replacement power cable. ” Click here to search for synths on eBay

“This plays its sounds. All the buttons and patterns work.
There’s static noise that also plays. It didn’t do this a few years ago when it was in perfect health.
My guess is that one or more of the capacitors is dying or is dead. If you don’t have the skills to know how to fix this, you’ll have to take it to a shop.
There seems to be a lot of broken SR-120’s showing up for sale and I think this is a standard issue. Capacitors tend to go after a few decades. You probably don’t want pay a lot of money for one that is working correctly and hasn’t been serviced because it will likely go wrong on you. If you’re going to buy one, ask about when/how it’s been serviced.” Click here to search for synths on eBay

“Workstation is in good working condition and was played very recently. It does show some wear and have some cosmetic flaws, the only serious one being some scratches on one key that break the surface and do go down or so a half mm or so – it does not effect operation.

“Synthesizer is good for its age (close to 40 years old!). Some scuffs/scratches + minor areas where the paint is fading. No battery corrosion, everything turns on fine. Used a factory reset to get all original presets. I’m including an official KORG adapter (Center Negative). The synth has not been modified.

“This auction is for a used working Korg Mono/Poly analog keyboard synthesizer. This synth has been stored for about a decade, kept clean and dry in a hard case. Prior to being stored the synthesizer was used in a smoke free studio for about 15 years. I am the second owner of this Mono/Poly. This synth is US shipped only.
The synth is working, it powers on and produces sound. Going through the synth all knobs and switches are working, all 4 voices, waveforms, noise source and the VCF/EG/VCA signal chain are working, all ins and outs are working. The arpeggiator works, latches and holds, and will cycle through the 4 vcos, warping them in a deliciously twisted manner when using the X-Mod effects in poly mode. All push button switches are working and all leds work. The pitch bend and modulation wheels both work. Both LFOs (MG1/2) are working on all waveforms at all rates.
Cosmetically the synth is in good condition. The metal casework and front panel are clean and legible with no dents and only minor wear. The factory particle board wooden sides suffer from fragility and are worn at the corners, ugly but purely cosmetic. The synth has not been modified in any way.
While the synth powers up and it is working it also exhibits the typical symptoms of a vintage analog synth coming out of long-term storage. The keyboard seems to have suffered the most during storage as there are now many intermittent keys. In addition most pots and switches exhibit audio signal noise when used. The synth will need servicing to be brought back up to spec. I am not a tech and it will be up to the buyer to determine any needs.” Click here to search for synths on eBay

“Two TX81z synth modules. (You are bidding on 2 units for the one price: $325 buys both units.)
Perfect condition with RECENTLY REPLACED BATTERIES (for the internal memory) in both units. Over time these batteries run down. The originals lasted 1987 – 2018 (31 years!)
Both units are identical. The TX81z is a 4 operator synth but I used the both synths assigned to the same midi channel to get an 8 operator sound. Detune each by a couple of cents, assign one left channel the other right channel. The sound is extraordinary and powerful!
I’ve accumulated a large selection of patches. Gone through them and thrown out all the crappy/similar ones. I’ve also a Patch Editor and Librarian which works perfectly on a Windows computer. I will include these if you are interested.
Search the web, you’ll find plenty of sound files to hear samples of this amazing little vintage synth.
Always used in a no smoking household.
Includes both original paper manuals and shipped in the original foam lined box.
Thanks for your consideration.” Click here to search for synths on eBay

“Yamaha CS60 Synthesizer With Legs Working Condition. Ive had this for many years but now it’s time for me to downsize. This board can create some really cool sounds! I just took it in to my tech to have it checked over. He said everything is working. He says at some point the power supply should be recapped but it’s working fine for now. All keys, switches and buttons are working as well as the pitch ribbon above the keys. The case is in good condition. I do have the Yamaha bag with the legs as well. The zipper on the bag will need to be restiched on one side. There is one broken knob on one of the legs. They still hold together without it but i will include it.” Click here to search for synths on eBay

“This circa 1986-88 (?) DX11 powers up, but sounds like it needs work. None of the presets produce proper sound; a high-pitched digital squeal is heard in some cases, other cases no output at all. Garbled characters appear on the LED for certain button or preset selections. Repair or harvest for its very valuable parts.
Cosmetically it’s in good to very good condition. No keys appear broken, frame seems solid without cracks, just minor wear and tear.” Click here to search for synths on eBay
