“This was bought in the 1970s and gently used for several years. It’s been in the closet for over 40 years, in the original manufacturer’s shipping crate, which was converted into a very protective, snugly fitting, foam padded travel case with handle, hasp for a lock, and a hinge added to the lid.
It has NOT been cleaned, polished, or even dusted (I’m not a pro and I don’t want to mar it). This is exactly the way it was stored in the closet after a 40+ year stay.
Having purchased it directly from ARP, I am the original owner.
I plugged it in and hooked it into an amplifier. The red light within the power-switch flickers and I can hear random oscillations, but it does not work as when put away decades ago. It’s never been dropped, damaged, or subjected to moisture damage so it’s likely a minor issue simply in need of servicing.
None of the keys are broken, the instrument is very clean. All but several sliders freely travel full range of motion. All of the switches and dial are intact and functional and only one of the fader’s vinyl caps is missing.
There are no cracks or damage other than some minor scratches here and there.”
