“Roland SH-101 Analogue Vintage Synthesiser . Condition is For parts or not working.
Lets be clear from the beginning that this is in bad shape!
I’ve had this in a cupboard since the 90’s. It was in bad shape when I got it back then.
But it is wasting a way, when someone out there may need the parts.
The colour of the plastic is yellowed massively.
Large gouge out of the plastic in one corner making a hole.
Keyboard does not work.
It has one rotary cap missing.
The tune pot is detached in some way.
Four slidercaps are missing
Pitch bend is broken off completely.
Some of the plastic that accepts the backing screws are burred out.
Generally dirty.
There may be other faults that I’m not experienced enough to know.
But….. It survives, powers up and it makes noise.
I rigged the cv to my Keystep and was able to get some comperable sound out of it.
The sliders seem to work. A couple were a bit crackly but nothing that sounded like a serious fault.
I don’t have much experience with this kind of classic synth.
I recorded some video of it working. I can share it if you get in touch, I think!”
