“1983 KORG Poly-61 Poly61 Vintage Analog Synthesizer For Parts or Repair
This keyboard was a victim of battery leakage. The repair shop I took it to tried their best to fix the issues. But, problems still remain. So, it is being sold, “as is”, for parts or repair.
The good:
– Outputs work
– All keys work*
– Memory works (new, jury-rigged, replacement battery)
– Joystick works
– All functions and modes work (poly, chord memory, hold, arpeggiator, tuning, tape load, arpeggio in, etc.)
– LED displays and lights work
The bad:
– Buttons 1, 2 & 3 are hard to get to work with just one touch – usually triggers multiple times
– Missing one screw (and its cam screw on the back side) on the top panel
– *Bottom C, C# and middle C# have contact issues
– Missing one rubber foot on bottom
& The Ugly:
– Back, bottom-right corner is broken off (see pictures)
– Joystick is bent
– Dings and scrapes
– Some non-original bolts on bottom” Click here to search for synths on eBay

“First, it should be clear that this is a USED, VINTAGE synthesizer/keyboard. This is from the estate of a jazz player who used this for several years. It shows signs of wear and use, and while it has been tested out extensively by another jazz player, we cannot be certain that every combination of options have been tried and tested… a really great musical tool, but it is what it is!!! The only noted minor issue is that the Bb3 key is slightly bent to one side and occasionally sticks a little. I don’t expect that this is hard to adjust, but I am not a keyboard technician, and if I paid one the price might go too high. I tried to document everything, so PLEASE check out the pictures.” Click here to search for synths on eBay

“Original KORG MS-20 mfg. between 1978 and 1983. Made in Japan. Being sold as “parts not working” because there are some scratchy pots and I am not a good enough synthesis person to accurately test how this is supposed to sound. Here’s what I know: It powers up and when I open up the filters all the way it seems to sound like it should. Here is what I have been able to test as best I can and feel confident listing: All keys working with no sticky keys. Both VCOs work (waveform select, tuning, octave, mix) seem to work as should. Filters (1 high pass and 1 low pass) with peak (resonance) also seem to work as should. All the Envelope Generator stages seem to control ADSR as they should and the modulation generator (LFO) seems to work as should. Portamento too. What I am not sure about is the modulation wheel. When I patch out of the Mod Wheel CV out jack I can get it to work on by patching into one of the VCO in jacks changing the pitch of one of the VCOs (not sure which one) and it only bends up. I am not sure what the button below the mod wheel does and don’t know how to test it. Again, the main reason sold as parts-not-working is the scratchy pots issue and I am not sure how to program and really test all the patch points to know if it is working 100% properly. Please make sure you are OK with that before bidding. Feel free to ask questions and if there is something you want me to test I will be happy to do so and report back. A bit history on this… I purchased it in late 1993 and it has sat in my smoke-free office unused since. So it essentially not been powered up for the last 25 years. So in spite of the scratchy pots, is is a low-hours item. Since sold as Parts-Not Working there are no returns, no inspection periods. ” Click here to search for synths on eBay

This is fortunately out of sight. No apparent marks on the front panel. All sliders and switches work without noise. Lovely condition with no niggles or faults. My very first synthesizer! Shame to see this one go. Comes with PSU but no manual or original box.” Click here to search for synths on eBay

“Yamaha CS-5 Vintage Analogue Synth with Kenton filter CV socket upgrade.
A great vintage mono synth if you’re on a budget, great for fat squelchy bass lines.
In working order but would benefit from a service as a few of the pots are a bit crackly or have dead spots (listed below). Should be a relatively simple job of replacing the pots.”

“Old “SnaggleTooth” has had it’s share of memories. Synth is complete, clean and smooth. I ran signal into it and have sequenced sounds out of it, many records have been done on this one. Love it to death, but priorities are different now, so this must go. Kenton Cv to Midi workls as expected, neither has been out side of the studio, so these are extremely clean.” Click here to search for synths on eBay

“The CS-50 is known to be like the younger brother of the famous CS-60 and CS-80. The CS-50 is a more simple version of the CS-80. While having the same audio quality at a much lighter weight, the CS-50 is a 4 voiced polyphonic synthesizer with 49 note keyboard which also has after touch feature. The CS-50 has 13 presets of various instruments and a panel section which allows you to design your own sound.

“ODYSSEY is 2 VCO, but its 1 VCO version, a synthesizer that can be said as a low-priced version.
It corresponds to a wide range of sound making even though it is simple but its sound thickness is truly ARP. You can also create a tone similar to the Odyssey.
This is a rare initial model. Cv / gate in / out terminal mounted. It has been maintained by the vendor.
Because the color tone on the keyboard is cheap!” Click here to search for synths on eBay

There is one small segment of LED on the far right which does not light up, otherwise it’s working perfectly and sounds fantastic.
