ARP Soloist Project Machine

“I’ve had this unit since the early 90s, solely in my studio. I haven’t had it plugged in for about 10 years now. The power cable is missing, sadly, but I also don’t dare try to power it up even with a cheater cable as my tech advised it will need a full recap to be safe to do so. And I believe them. Bad filter caps can take down any unit, never mind one of this value.

SO.

Last time we used it, it worked. The front switches were, as expected, testy. The sliders, aside from one, have all sheared off (but can be moved with a screwdriver, gently.) The keys and pressure/aftertouch worked, but definitely needed a good cleaning, as they were sometimes not respoding. The very top key sticks. There is some obvious cosmetic stuff, but hey, it’s how old??

No slider cap on the one fully intact slider, too.
