“The Korg PolySix is an amazing early synth dating to 1981. I obtained this model in the 90s from its original owner. It’s a six-note polyphonic analog beast with built-in chorus, phaser and “ensemble” effects. It’s got 32 memory slots for voices, which can be backed up to old-fashioned cassette tape. I believe this is the model they used for “The Final Countdown,” so you KNOW it’s awesome. Tears for Fears also used a PolySix, and so did Keith Emerson (who I’m pretty sure used every synth). This machine has never been on the road, it’s original owner used it for home recording and I used it for taking up space in my basement. Somewhere along the line, it simply stopped working.
This keyboard has some chipping to the woodgrain finish on the edges and corners, and is missing a few of the little buttons on the top. The buttons themselves appear to work, but they’re all sticky.
PolySix keyboards have had some reliability issues in the past, and this one needs to be serviced. It currently does not play. The PolySix has a NiCd batter that needed replacement, and it is unlikely that the one inside this model has ever been replaced, so that might be the issue – it powers up just fine, but no sound comes out. This is being sold “as is” with no returns.
Reverb dot com shows past sales of these ranging between $800 and $2000, with POOR condition examples selling in the $800 range. This one definitely qualifies as POOR; it’s yours for $700 plus shipping, which is a great price if you know how to service these (or know someone who does). This is a truly monster synth, one of the earliest affordable synthesizers.”

“Here for Sale, I present the Fabulous Korg Poly Six! This is a 6 Oscillator Keyboard that along with the Equally Fabulous Roland Juno 60 (Which I also own) was released in 1981 and turned the world Upside Down!
“Korg Polysix Synthesizer. This is the one you’ve been waiting for! Excellent cosmetic condition, excellent functionality. All functions work as they should, all knobs turn smoothly, all buttons respond easily, all keys trigger as they should. The battery has been replaced with a CR2032 socket type battery and holder so that in the future, probably way out into the future, the battery will be very easy to change without having to solder. There are a few tiny scratches here and there and there is slight damage to the very corner of the wood sides. The circuit boards are clean. This keyboard was fully serviced recently and it shows in how it plays, sounds and responds.”
“The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear, but overall, it is very good condition, fully operational and functions as intended.”
“Korg M1
“Korg Poly 800 VCF, RES, FM, Filter switch 12/24 db MOD Controllers
“KORG M1 is a legendary synth still very popular among musicians. Apart from the incredibly clear sound, it offers a pretty sophisticated sequencer. I’ve used it very few times during the years, but sadly time has left some marks on it: the power button is missing and it presents not many scratches, but few of the keys are kind of worn out, as you can see from the pictures.”

“Selling my Korg DW8000. It’s a great 80’s hybrid digital/analog synth that can make a bunch of great sounds, and has a nice built in delay that can also do some chorus like sounds. I replaced a dead save battery in this a few months ago, so you don’t have to worry about all your patches being lost. One of the D#/Eb keys sticks a little bit, but it hasn’t been too much of an issue in my experience performing with it. Only selling because I got a new synth that I use way more. Comes with two power cables.”

“Classic fat analog tone genuinely loved synth but I’ve unfortunately fallen into the eurorack black hole so selling some gear to fund that. Good overall condition for age welcome to come and try the synth out before buying if you wish. Not a Japanese import like a lot on here, this is the proper UK mains power. I’d prefer collection because of what it is but will post at buyers risk.”

“Korg DSS-1 Powers On/ AC Cord Included. This is a fairly complex keyboard the DSS-1 and I have no idea how it operates. It does power on and the screen can go through different settings. There is a floppy disk that comes with it although I could not seem to get it to load following instruction on the internet. With the correct disk and the experienced user this DSS-1 may work properly. This Korg DSS-1 is sold AS-IS and I must sell it as a “Parts Only” item as I do not know how to operate it.”
