ARP Explorer

“Had this ARP synth in the studio for a couple of years. Never really used it as I am a guitarist. But I thought it was very cool, just love anything analog. Time to let some other folks get their turn on this oldie but goodie!

Overall condition is good, no damage and it does fire right up and work. Just what all the functions do, I have no clue. But if you move a slider or turn a knob, it does alter the tone. Keeping in mind this synth is probably over 50 years old, there are some items buyer should be aware of. The front of the ARP used to have gold colored marking on the controls. These have for the most part either faded away over time or were possibly rubbed away. Not a problem as there are detailed pics all over the net of what each control is supposed to do. A few of the original screws have been replaced as well as a few slider tips and knobs. A few of the keys, while they work fine, are just a tad higher/lower than the others. I will include a photo, does not impede synth perfomance. Pretty much most of this stuff is cosmetic in nature. ” Click here to visit listing on eBay
