“The legendary monophonic synthesizer manufactured by Roland from 1982 to 1986. This is the grey version without the optional hand grip. Due to its status there is no need to list the technical specifications; please refer to the numerous reviews of this instrument if you require further information. Suffice to say that this is a classic workhorse as evidenced on countless recordings and musical genres, from rock to acid house to techno and beyond.
The instrument has been kept in storage since the early 1990s and has undergone a recent service and overhaul by the Synthesizer Service Centre, London NW10 (invoice document provided). Inevitably there are a few faults due to the workings of time.cThe grey casing has faded to a lighter greenish grey (not an entirely unusual phenomenon with SH-101s) perhaps due to ageing polymers or light exposure. The underside battery door clasps are broken although the door itself fits fine and the instrument works perfectly when powered by six C batteries. Please refer to the photographs. Everything else works to full sonic effect.
The instrument comes with an appropriate new power supply (correct 9V etc) and the original manual (unfortunately missing the back page and a third of the front page which has been excised; also some of the sound charts have pen markings)”
