“Offered for sale is a very nice looking Yamaha FM tone generator synthesizer TX81Z, Made in Japan. I have tested this by plugging it into the mains and ensuring that it powers up. That is the extent of my test as I know nothing else about these nor as to how they work. Am therefore selling as is and as you see it. I will not accept any returns since I am selling as is and as you see it and have stated my facts accurately. The unit is in excellent cosmetic condition and has been well looked after by its owner. There is also a pull out card at the bottom of the unit as can be seen in the last photo. Good luck and happy bidding.”

“Behold a vintage synth classic! This is an ARP Sequencer Model 1613, and chances are you already know what it is and what it does or you wouldn’t be looking. The ARP Sequencer was so cool, these days it’s getting cloned!
This is a little like the synth version of the classic car field’s “barn find,” except it was NOT ever stored in a barn or outside or in a shed…no, this all original unit has been stored in a safe hobbyist home studio environment, smoke free, since it was purchased from its first owner in 1981. After that it mostly sat on an Ultimate Support rack and for the last ten years on a shelf.
Model 1613
Serial Number 16130253 (0253)
Included: Original User Manual
US power cord built in
The good news is that this is not a “Lazarus Project.” The unit powers up and clearly it works. Tested with a “drifty” ARP Axxe and Arturia Microbrute. I can “step” through a sequence and hear the connected synth’s sound. However, there are some minor problems – for instance, I believe the slider contacts need cleaning. When stepping through the sequence, you get the same tone no matter where the sliders are located (maybe I’ve forgotten something!). All the LEDs light up and blink perfectly in sequence and random mode, with one exception – I think the Clock LED is out. All the slider caps are present and accounted for. There are NO broken sliders or loose jacks.
Physically, the unit is in outstanding shape for its age. There are a few scratches on the bottom panel, there is a small ding on the lower front (not the operation panel), and there are some weird pry marks underneath (see photos). There is an inch-long scrape on one wooden side panel. It’s missing 3 of the 4 rubber feet. That’s pretty much it on the negatives.
A good cleaning under the hood should revive this cool piece of synthesizer history. I hate parting with it, but I would love to know it’s headed to a loving new home where it can make music once again. I have no doubt that a tech-minded collector, hobbyist, or pro will be thrilled with this piece of ARP synth history. Selling AS IS with no returns.”

“For sale is my beloved AKAI AX 60.
I love its analog sound, better than the Junos and Jupiter IMO. Sadly I have no time or skills to service this baby so I guess I’m going digital. All keys, sliders and buttons work, with the following exceptions:
The note sustain on the Envelope Generator seems to be permanently routed to pitch. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. It’s probably a faulty capacitor but as I said I don’t have the knowledge to know which one. The way I used to overcome this was by using a sustain pedal and activating the VCA gate. I recorded a small video to demonstrate this behavior: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYb_Eh4b-MU&feature=youtu.be
It could use new switches on the preset buttons (number 4 on the second row doesn’t work sometimes).
It’s missing two slider knobs.
Aside from that, it’s in good condition. ALL VOICE CHIPS WORK AND STAY IN TUNE. ”

“Up for sale here is my trusty Midi NES Cartridge. It’s in pristine condition, the contact pins are barely worn as seen in the picture. They quit making these years ago and you’re not going to find another one!
This Cartridge uses the total sound engine of the NES which is 2 pulse/square waves, triangle, noise and a sample channel. The sample channel has dozens of classic drum machine sounds that you can play from a keyboard, very nicely arranged for simple sequencing with your DAW or hardware gear. The samples are classic Roland machines – 808, 909, 707 and a bunch of random drum samples. The noise floor is relatively low – i used a gate on it and cleaned it up nicely. The sound is surprisingly punchy.
It also produces interesting video output from the NES if you use the video connection, it pulses to samples and notes played, changing colors as well.”

“Oberheim FVS-1 Four Voice Synthesizer
This is a great example of a four voice. This unit was restored recently, with rebuilt power supply and decoupling caps replaced on all boards, pots cleaned, keyboard bushings replaced and entire keybed cleaned and polished out, and oscillator tracking calibrated.
It plays and sounds incredible. Only issues are that the master volume pot is a little scratchy (only when adjusted), and memory store/recall does not work properly despite replacement battery. Memory storage on this keyboard is not very useful anyway – since some of the most important settings cannot be stored with a patch by design (modulation routing, etc.). The more useful features of the optional programmer module all work perfectly (vibrato, centralized pitch, filter control and envelopes). Tolex is original, and some bumps, bruises and rips have been professionally touched up (worst of it was on the lid).”

“Fully working, excellent condition. Fully and exhaustively restored by Analogics so new capacitors, calibration, battery, and cleaning already taken care of. Has the Encore Midi which also increases patch storage on this. I can provide some additional patches for this that were the Devo and related sound banks offered up at one time.
This Moog is only second to a Model D in terms of vintage raw tone and it is easily one of the best mono synths out there. Famous for it’s use as the baseline in Blue Monday and many other songs.
I actually have more money invested in this than I’m asking. Were you to get a good condition Source, get the midi kit, have it installed, and have the whole synth totally restored you’d be surprised how quickly that all adds up. I thought I’d have this synth forever and treated it that way. Just stayed in my personal rig at home for years now.
This is a great sounding synth, all the vintage vibe you want, and everything you know Moog for, but also with midi and expanded patch storage. You can edit and save patches in Midiquest since this has midi. This beats the sound of newer synths by a mile, easily integrates into a modern setup, and is just plain fun and inspiring to use.”

The wood has a nice relic condition, there are two knobs missing, and one of the shafts for the knob is broken. You can move it with some pliers or rig it to work. I tested all the knobs and keys for functionality. I plugged it into my guitar amp and everything works as best that I can tell. It produces some really cool tones!”
