“Excellent working condition. This particular unit has 6 switches on the back that can turn the filter on channels 1-6 on or off, for audio coming out of the individual channel outs and the mix out. All buttons and pads have been disassembled and cleaned, and all slide potentiometers have been disassembled and cleaned as well. A new screen has been installed. A new faceplate has been installed.” Click here to search for synths on eBay

“Please note: NY State residents will be charged 8.88% sales tax on checkout.

This E-Mu SP-12 Turbo (5 seconds total sampling time) is in excellent working and physical condition.

This particular unit has 6 switches on the back that can turn the filter on channels 1-6 on or off, for audio coming out of the individual channel outs and the mix out.

I just did the following (I have experience with SP12’s and SP1200’s—I have done the same to several prior to this one.):

-Disassembled and cleaned all button and pad contacts.

-Overhauled (completely disassembled down to individual components, cleaned, lubricated, and reassembled) all 8 slide potentiometers

-Installed a new transflective wide viewing angle FSTN LED screen (brighter than the original backlit display, and does not use an inverter for power so there is less potential noise in the audio). The screen is brighter than appears in the pics, I used a flash for the pics and it’s hard to capture the brightness of a backlit screen with a flash.

-Installed a new faceplate overlay and backplate overlay.” Click here to search for synths on eBay

“Works great – excellent condition – a rare and still powerful machine with that classic crunch of 12 bit goodness.

I have owned this machine for many years and used it on many recordings and even in live performance. It is precious to me but I have too many beatmaking machines and thought it was time to let this one go.” Click here to search for synths on eBay

“For your consideration is a restored and modified SP-12 Turbo in very nice cosmetic shape with very few imperfections (see photos).

Restoration & mod work as follows:

-LCD removed, inverter removed (lowers SP noise floor).

-Installed Noritake Blue VFD display with custom mounting (see powered on photo). Allows viewing angle from any angle up to a few feet away. Superior to LED.

-Custom sky blue rubberized fader caps.

-Volume, Metronome, and Sample knobs replaced with brand new knobs.

-All buttons and fader housings pulled apart and cleaned inside before reassembly. All buttons work with 1 gentle button press now. (*drum pad 5 requires being pressed a bit harder than the others but is fully functional).” Click here to search for synths on eBay

“For your consideration is a restored & modified SP-12 Turbo in excellent condition. It’s probably the sexiest one I or you have ever seen. 🙂 Why am I selling? I need to raise funds for an engagement ring (if you personally know me and are looking at this ad, don’t tell my girl! Haha!) Anyhow, short of that I’d never consider selling.

Here’s the outline of the work I had done to it (all mods/restoration work were performed by Duane Balvage):

•Gorgeous Noritake blue VFD display installed (masterfully wired up & mounted). The viewing angle is such that it can be read clearly from any angle fron several feet away!)

•Internal battery replaced with a new mount that supports a standard 2002/3 style watch battery (brand new battery installed).

•Custom rubberized sky blue faders. They look and feel amazing.

•Sample input mod allows the user to monitor the sample input by using the monitor/main volume knob. Quite useful and does not sound degraded when monitoring.

•3 brand new OEM potentiometer caps

•All output/input jacks cleaned and checked for noise with a scope.

•Inverter removed from signal path which reduces overall noise floor.

•Every slider, drum pad, and function button was pulled apart and cleaned one by one. The result is that every fuction button now responds in one press. No double pressing, hard pressing, jumpy selection, etc. OG SP users will understand that struggle and how rare it is for an SP to respond correctly when pressing function buttons.

*Slider 2 has exhibited very light jumping when doing fine editing, but it’s quite stable. I mention because I’m asking top money and don’t want any surprises for the future owner

*Drum pad 5 requires slightly harder pressing to trigger compared to the others which are very responsive. Again, if’s stable and works, just requires being pressed just right or pressing a little harder.

It is recommended that the future owner replace the original yet very well maintained sliders and drum pads to complete restoration to a like-new feel. It’s damn close as it is and studio ready. I am nitpicking on purpose so as to not disappoint even the ficklest buyers.

The only other thing worth noting is that the nuts that go around the output jacks were removed by the previous owner. I never cared and liked the tighter low profile fit of my cables without them on. I had intended to put some red Neutrik ones on there but I ordered the wrong size (few mm to big) and said F it. I’ll include them though as a reference. I’ll also include a few extra slider caps/pots I have.

I realize I’m asking all the money in the world, and rightlly so, as this is a studio ready SP-12 turbo in fine shape with all the best mods that you almost never see — and never all in one unit. Please consider that when considering my asking price. As you know the price just keeps rising on these. A NIB 1200 sold for 8.5k the orher day for perspective. ” Click here to search for synths on eBay
