“An excellent example of one of the best Roland monosynths from the classic Roland era.
Serviced including recapping and extensive cleaning of controls. Note that some light crackle may occur, especially after periods not being used, however this will clear with use.
Complete with the original case (love the red interior) and manuals.
These are great as a standalone instrument, or of course can be paired with the Model-102 to great effect (and then you’re well onto the slippery slope to full System-100 ownership…).
Condition: In excellent overall cosmetic condition. The signs of age are mainly some wear around some controls. There is also some tape residue on the rear. See photos for more information on cosmetic condition.
Voltage: Will be set up for either 120 or 240v operation before shipping (originally a 100v machine).”

“This Roland Juno 60 synth is in outstanding cosmetic condition, it is fully functional and sounds great!
It has been gently used in a smoke free home studio for the past 25 years or so, never gigged.
As you can see from the pictures it is one of the most attractive looking Juno 60 synths you are likely to ever encounter.
I’m including a copy of the owner’s manual as well as a very sturdy shipping box that will transport this wonderful machine to you in the same condition that you see in the pictures.
There is a video of this instrument that I have posted on YouTube that demonstrates that all of the keys work plus a little demo of the DCB function. Go to YouTube and search for “Juno60Feb2024″ (use quotation marks) and, hopefully you will find it.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

” This was once one of my go-to-synths, but I have since gone fully digital and I haven’t touched it in years. The synth is in great cosmetic and working condition. Some minor wear on the wood panels that I want to make sure is mentioned and I have documented in pictures.
Fully tested just now and the unit sounds incredible. Two things that I have noticed that you need to be aware of before bidding:
-I noticed a slight crackle when turning the volume knob, which I was able to get rid of by spraying some DeoxIT D5 contact spray. That said, this could potentially return and can be easily addressed as mentioned.
-One key (A#) shows a slightly delayed reaction when pressed at times. This is likely also a dusty or dirty contact as the key feels fine. This too can easily be addressed but it likely requires opening the unit up, which I have not done as I have very little to no technical background or talent. Alternatively, you can easily circumvent this by changing the octave. Also worth mentioning is the fact that this problem does not occur when the synth is being triggered via MIDI.
Other than these two things, that I want to be very transparent about:
-all sliders are present and work
-pitch bend and modulation section works
-chorus section works
-presets work
-all voice chips (6) work
-all keys work
Comes with a Kenton Pro-DCB MIDI to DCB convertor that allows you to trigger this synth from your DAW… very cool in combination with this pre-MIDI synth! Includes all needed cables and convertor manual. I am also including two high quality audio cables. And it comes with an original Roland patch shift pedal.
This synth looks and sounds fantastic but because of the two minor issues mentioned above and the minor wear on the wood panels I am not selling and pricing this as excellent or pristine, so this may be a rare opportunity to own a great Juno-60 for a reasonable price!” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“See photos for all details on condition. Has scuffs and scratches on multiple sides, but most are only visible under close inspection. Looks very nice for it’s age overall and more importantly sounds greats and plays as it should!
Case latch has lost some of its chrome plating(see photo), but latches as it should. Case is fairly lightweight yet very protective.
Parts/Functions TESTED-
All black/white keys and buttons except any parts that would require a cartridge(since I do not have one). No reason to believe cartridge functions aren’t working though. Cartridge slot not tested for same reason.
Aftertouch has been tested and verified functioning using MIDI-OX to verify aftertouch signal being sent. To me it seems a little weak in terms of response but I don’t have another JX-8P to compare it to and I do not play synths regularly(guitar is main instrument). So not sure if this is just the nature of this beast or if the aftertouch contact strip could benefit from a cleaning.
All sliders and pitch bender tested. Display works as it should.
All rear audio outputs and l,m,h switch.
MIDI in, out, and thru ports.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“Basically a Juno 106 (maybe better? responds to midi velocity!) in rackmount form plus its got a great bass voice as well as a built in TR-707 which many say is a poor mans 909 🙂 The rear has 4 direct outputs for each section – the bass and drums mentioned above and the Juno section is split into a 4 note polyphony chord section and a 2 note polyphony melody section. You can put the Juno section into whole mode and get all 6 notes of polyphony. I personally had it set up with the drums and bass coming out of the direct outs and the juno part out of the master section so that great juno chorus could be in stereo. The master volume fader is pretty crackle-y but you pretty much just set your volume and leave it there so its not really an issue – keep in mind this is 40ish years old! All the voices sound great and look great, i have tested all the other functions, the buttons sometimes double press but still work and can still be used to dial up patches. and was using this with a midi editor in ableton and I have one I can send you that runs in Logic if you are familiar with Logic’s environment. This unit is setup for 120v so is ready to go here in North America.”

“Condition:
JX-3P
1. All keys and buttons are working (LFO, Chorus, Mute, Hold Key, etc) are functioning properly. The pitch bender works, however when bending to a lower pitch it doesn’t kick in for the first cm or so but then works as you bend further down. A simple fix if you need to use it.
2. Sequencer is working perfectly (write, overwrite, rate, key transpose)
3. Sound edit mode is also functioning properly (Memory C & D bank, sens, 1-16 buttons)
PG200
All controls functioning properly for controlling JX-3P (All knobs, manual and write buttons)”

Cosmetic condition is good but has wear on the rack ears as well as scuffs as shown.

“This keyboard is being sold ‘as is’ so no returns.
This Roland keyboard from the 80s is essentially broken, but may be repairable for somebody with the right skills, or perhaps you can use the parts.
There are no accessories, not even a power cable (a standard kettle plug cable will work – no need of a special power supply). No manual and the box will be for a different keyboard.
So, it’s not working, but here’s the state of it. Cosmetically it is generally good for its age. A bit of paint on it, and some dust etc. Could do with a bit of cleaning, but otherwise decent, no major dents or anything. On powering up, the LCD display comes to life and appears working. The disk drive makes a constant whirring noise which is annoying, and I suspect that it is faulty. However I have never had the appropriate disk to load into it, but given the noise it is not functioning correctly. So without disks, standard operation of this keyboard is untested by me, so possibly does not work, however I have been able to hook it up via midi and use it to control other sound modules and it works fine in that regard. All the keys, the pitch-bend work perfectly sending out full midi. The keyboard seems close to 100%, with no dead keys. I’ve had a quick check of the midi out for touch sensitivity and it appears good.
Addendum: A punter asked is the sampling worked. I hadn’t tested it, but now have and can confirm that it seems to work perfectly. I haven’t tried all the features, but have easily sampled sounds and played them. Of course without the disk drive working, one cannot save them, but this part of the keyboard is good.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“This listing is for my Roland JP-8000
I am getting out of vintage synths so my collection is up for sale.
This is in excellent condition and fully working. A couple of tiny marks here and there but nothing bad at all.
I bought it last year from its 2nd owner who had kept it in storage and bought it from a personal friend who barely used it.
So it’s been hardly used and very well looked after over the years.
As far as I know the only thing that has been done is the battery was replaced a few years ago.
I don’t think there has been any other servicing. No capacitor replacement. It’s fully working now but JP-8000s have a very common problem with the output muting capacitor failing and it will need to be replaced at some point – worth bearing in mind.
This listing includes the JP-8000, power cable, manual (a bit scruffy) and original box. However the box has lost all its strength so is unsuitable for shipping. The box is just cardboard folded in on itself, no polystyrene – very eco friendly but not very strong at all! You can see from the photos that the box has basically collapsed.” Click here to visit listing on eBay
