“This listing is for a like-new Roland MC-202 analog synthesizer/sequencer. It is in fantastic, fully-functional shape with only two marks on the bottom of the synth. The 202 has not been modded or altered in any way and has seemingly rarely ever been used. The 202 is very similar to the Roland SH-101, though the 202 sports a much more advanced sequencer. Even the box is in good shape. A proper 9V power supply will be included with the synth. Good luck and happy bidding!”

“If you’re looking at this, then you know what it is. I recently bought this from a real ‘synth guy,’ who went over it and serviced it… made it good for years to come. He replaced the battery, re-capped it, and cleaned it up. If you’ve been looking for a great Promars in very good-excellent condition, then this is the one… Also probably the only one available online that ships from inside the United States. It is in 100% perfect working condition.
In the interest of full disclosure, here is a fully transparent (to the best of my ability) description of the synth’s condition, with any and all ‘little’ things that one would want to know:
All original sliders, knobs, buttons, switches, etc. are present and accounted for. There is no writing or stickers anywhere- as far as cosmetic condition goes, there are some knicks on the wooden sides (visible in pics), a little bit of tape residue next to the word “Promars” on the face plate, and a little bit of rust/buildup on some of the screws (which could easily be replaced). Also, the Attack slider in the VCF section is slightly bent, but does not affect function. Synth stays in tune and tracks well.
Also, this is the Japanese version (100V), so you may want to get the appropriate voltage converter for this baby.”

“Here’s a vintage original 1980s Roland Juno-106 Keyboard up for sale.
It works but not perfectly. It powers up and plays but it does not sound right. It sounds distorted a bit and not the way it is supposed to. This item is being sold as is for repair.
Keyboard is as pictured, for repair or parts, it’s complete with power cable, but some of the slider tips are missing. Most are there. ”

“Tested recently before listing, there is the usual very small amount of noise heard on the volume slider only when being adjusted –
to give full disclosure – and something that can be expected from gear this age, but nothing at all that would hinder it’s use as it’s an
extremely warm and powerful synth. The display is fully functional however the backlight has dimmed out. This is the Rev 5 version
with the custom Roland VCO’s, designed to produce a highly desirable tighter bass sound that’s preferred in the studio. I don’t think
a synthesizer of this magnitude has been produced since, and being what I consider to be the best piece of gear I’ve owned – I’ve
taken a lot of pride in it’s ownership. Exclusively housed and used in a power conditioned and climate controlled environment. It’s
sound can be heard used by many famous artists. No dead voices or any voice problems that I’ve noticed, this is no doubt a rare gem.”

“Okay this needs NO introduction:
Ladies and gents the legendary SH101.
The tech at MPA just described this as “by far the best condition inside one of these I have ever seen”.
Been in my home studio for years with very light use and absolutely no stories or issues
I took high resolution close-up shots so you can see exactly the condition of this beauty.
Recent Full Service – 21st Feb 2018 including tuning AND intonation for the legendary tones AND true percussive sounds that often go missing with age. Cost £120 so factor that into any other item
The ONLY reason this is not listed as 100% mint is a scratch on the battery cover that I did about 8 years ago and the volume pot sometimes crackles on adjustment but NEVER in use. Advice on service was to leave alone and keep 100% original.
Complete with power supply this will be a gem in any studio / collection. I am setting this at a low low start so we can see exactly what these are really worth in this kind of condition and with recent service ”

” Original genuine vintage ROLAND Juno-106 synth purchased new by me for over $1,000 in September 1986. Still works well, a little dirty pot noise occasionally when moving some of the sliders due to non use over the past few years but all sliders and buttons work. Original chips and board & working LED’s, no modifications. All keys work. Natural wood bottom gives it some weight. Nice addition to a studio or to add some warm strings and 80’s style patches to your music.”

“This is an iconic synth from Roland that I have owned and loved for 25 years. It has only had studio use and has been well looked after.
Unfortunately these synths suffered from failure of key contacts, so a few years ago I had mine replaced with a full working keyboard. This lasted only a short time before also failing. So what you have here is a very capable synth that can only be played via another midi keyboard/sequencer. All other switches and sliders are working correctly.”

“There’s plenty online about the Roland Juno 60, and if you’re looking to buy one chances are you know all about it already so I won’t list technical spec etc here.
I bought this Juno 60 from the original owner around 20 years ago. It’s been used in the home on and off but more recently has been stored in my loft. I decided to move it on simply as I realise storing it but not using it is keeping it out of circulation and there will be an enthusiast out there who would love to own and use it!
It’s in very good physical condition as you can see from the photos. Some slight knocks and bumps but nothing more than you’d expect from an instrument of this age. I’ve plugged it in and played it today and so far as I can tell everything is working as it should. To be absolutely clear the volume knob creates a crackle when you turn it as do some of the keys and some keys occasionally lose contact – but I suspect this would be easily sorted. To be honest the more I played it this morning the more these issues reduced so it could just need to stay in use for a while, but I wanted to be clear about this issue up front. ”

“Bought in 2002. Beautiful sound, almost human sounding! Played it a lot for many years, then put aside, to be played only occasionally, and then not at all. Stored in temp and humidity controlled studio. When I brought it out a few years ago, there were some problems that had developed. The initial gain control seems stuck on the release envelope. Its not a bad quality if you keep playing, but after you finish a note, the sound doesn’t die out. I have remedied this by hooking up a Moogerfooger filter module, and turning the initial gain down. This way I can have the beautiful Roland filter as well as the Moog fatness to switch back and forth between. Several of the sliders are noisy also. The 2 that are needed to tweak sounds the most-the filter cutoff and filter env amount-are especially noticeable. The rest not too bad. It could use a good cleaning. Everything else works just fine, and the cosmetic condition is very good. Its a very cool looking synth-Rolands first ones had a future retro look about them. Did not come with a manual, but its pretty self explanatory.”

“Well-loved Roland Sh-09 for sale. Professionally serviced when I purchased it a couple of years ago and it’s been played relatively little at home and has been and packed away for the last year.
As you can see from the photos it’s missing two slider caps, has some wearing on the panel, and has had key repairs done to it prior to me purchasing it. On the plus side, at 35+ years old, it works beautifully. It sounds like magic and plays like a dream. This is surprisingly versatile for a monosynth and you can feed the output back into it for some really screaming leads and bass. ”

” Up for sale is the legendary Roland JD 800 synthesizer. The unit has the infamous red glue problem that has rendered the keys unplayable but this issue does not affect the module at all and as a sound source/module it works as intended. Cosmetically the synth is in very good condition as can be seen in the pictures and all the knobs/buttons/faders and functions work as they should (this can be seen in the demo video included with the listing).
I have owned this keyboard for the past few years and have never had an issue with it as a sound module/synthesizer. What I have always done is use the main keyboard I have in my studio to send out MIDI (which I normally do with my other synths anyway) so the red glue problem on the JD 800 has never been an issue for me.
As a matter of fact if you are handy enough there are plenty of instructions online on how to MOD the unit into a sound module only (as shown in the last picture) but in reality I never had the need nor desire to do it to mine.
This is a perfect opportunity for someone to get their hands on working JD 800 at a fraction of what they are fetching if they can live without the keys. ”

“Juno 106 programmable synth.
For someone new to this keyboard here are the issues that are common and easily fixed.
Needs #6 voice chip replaced. These are available on ebay for under 100$ new but there are ways to bring these chips back to life easily found on the net.
Needs a new battery. These are common watch batteries or I’ve read you can use a common 3.6v computer battery. The old battery clip is removed from the board and wired for a new clip to get mounted in a more convenient location.
#2 patch button is flakey and so are the key transpose and poly buttons.
You will need to reload the factory patches from the original wave files found easily on the net. ” Click here to search for synths on eBay
