ARP Axxe

“My lovingly restored ARP Axxe.

I bought this synth a year or so ago and have since spent many hours restoring it to a high standard.I have disassembled it and then cleaned every part before re assembly.

Here is a list of some of the work I have done on it.

1. Removed, stripped and cleaned each of the slide potentiometers.
2. Replaced all of the keyboard bushings. Cleaned the bus bars and key contacts.
3. Replaced all of the capacitors on the power supply and any tantalum capacitors on the main board.
4. Modified the filter board to correct the factory filter resonance range issue.

Although I have cleaned and lubricated the slider pots they are not perfect. They all do their job but may not be as smooth as they were when new and there is the odd crackle when some are moved.The original slider caps were in a bad way and some were missing so I have used some orange soft plastic covers. They are actually screw thread protectors and you can buy them in all sorts of colours.

I have tested all the CV and gate inputs and outputs and they work as well.I will also include the very rare owners manual and patch sheets. A new mains lead will also be included. ” Click here to visit listing on eBay
