“Works perfectly, has very minor cosmetic issues at all. Sounds great and comes with power cable. The pitch bender seemed to stop working, but I will attempt to fix that before shipping.
I only used it through a mono output and it had a minor scratchy sound to it but it may be just some part of the patches/configurations.”

“Okay this needs NO introduction:
Ladies and gents the legendary SH101.
The tech at MPA just described this as “by far the best condition inside one of these I have ever seen”.
Been in my home studio for years with very light use and absolutely no stories or issues
I took high resolution close-up shots so you can see exactly the condition of this beauty.
Recent Full Service – 21st Feb 2018 including tuning AND intonation for the legendary tones AND true percussive sounds that often go missing with age. Cost £120 so factor that into any other item
The ONLY reason this is not listed as 100% mint is a scratch on the battery cover that I did about 8 years ago and the volume pot sometimes crackles on adjustment but NEVER in use. Advice on service was to leave alone and keep 100% original.
Complete with power supply this will be a gem in any studio / collection. I am setting this at a low low start so we can see exactly what these are really worth in this kind of condition and with recent service ”

” Original genuine vintage ROLAND Juno-106 synth purchased new by me for over $1,000 in September 1986. Still works well, a little dirty pot noise occasionally when moving some of the sliders due to non use over the past few years but all sliders and buttons work. Original chips and board & working LED’s, no modifications. All keys work. Natural wood bottom gives it some weight. Nice addition to a studio or to add some warm strings and 80’s style patches to your music.”

“This is an iconic synth from Roland that I have owned and loved for 25 years. It has only had studio use and has been well looked after.
Unfortunately these synths suffered from failure of key contacts, so a few years ago I had mine replaced with a full working keyboard. This lasted only a short time before also failing. So what you have here is a very capable synth that can only be played via another midi keyboard/sequencer. All other switches and sliders are working correctly.”

“There’s plenty online about the Roland Juno 60, and if you’re looking to buy one chances are you know all about it already so I won’t list technical spec etc here.
I bought this Juno 60 from the original owner around 20 years ago. It’s been used in the home on and off but more recently has been stored in my loft. I decided to move it on simply as I realise storing it but not using it is keeping it out of circulation and there will be an enthusiast out there who would love to own and use it!
It’s in very good physical condition as you can see from the photos. Some slight knocks and bumps but nothing more than you’d expect from an instrument of this age. I’ve plugged it in and played it today and so far as I can tell everything is working as it should. To be absolutely clear the volume knob creates a crackle when you turn it as do some of the keys and some keys occasionally lose contact – but I suspect this would be easily sorted. To be honest the more I played it this morning the more these issues reduced so it could just need to stay in use for a while, but I wanted to be clear about this issue up front. ”

“Later version with trigger button. No corrosion. Keyboard connections re-soldered. Modulation wheel works. The switched jacks all work. Pots are mostly quiet.
This synth was sidelined for many years due to a couple of non-operating keys and I didn’t have any CV equipment.
This month, I opened the unit and carefully repaired the cracked solder joints where the key contacts meet the switch board. I reheated all of the joints to make sure they don’t fail.
The interior is very clean and I carefully cleaned the outside of the unit including the knobs.
The plastic left side plate of the case was cracked at the front, so I reinforced it with glue. See image. This does not affect the rigidity of the case.
At first, the pots were noisy but they quieted after using the synth for a few hours making sure all the functions worked and remembering how much fun it was.
The Pulse Width modulation operates well as do the LFO panel outputs and the switching jacks do what they are supposed to. I’ll throw in 4 home made patch cords, so you can play with the modulation immediately.
The Oscillator and Filter both work correctly, although I did not check to make sure the Oscillator is tuned accurately. The tuning controls are accessible through the front panel. – on that note, two of the small rubber plugs to these adjustments are missing.” Click here to search for synths on eBay

“The korg itself is in pretty great shape. All the keys function & are in tune. Each of the patches work just fine & so does the modulation wheel. There is no scratches or scuffs on the body or keys. There is dust on parts of the korg but I’m sure you could remove it with ease. The D key has a small chip on the bottom of the key (as seen on the photo) but still functions as it would without the chip. Everything functions & works as it would in 1978! It also comes with it’s original power cable.” Click here to search for synths on eBay

“Welcome to Musicdungeon, you are bidding on a great piece. This is the 1980’s Korg Japan DSM-1 Digital Sampling Synthesizer.
The DSM-1 is very similar to the DSS synth, and both are still very relevant today.
This DSM-1 features 16 voice polyphony, 4 timbres, dual oscillators, 12 bit/64 seconds sampling, and Attack/Sustain/Decay/Release envelope.
This came to us, and was tested with the Bass Roto disk.
The disk loads with an error, but does load which allowed us to test this DSM-1- it works as it should.
Very good overall condition- typical marks you expect on a rackmount unit of this age.
Includes the power cable.
This is your chance to get your hands on a great rackmount synth from Korg Japan, for the price you want.”

“This was working Perfectly until a couple of days ago. If you look at pictures 6,7,8, you can see the culprit. It looks like something has burned out on the mains input circuit board, its probably not called that, sorry i dont know much about these things. Im certain this is an easy fix for somone in the know. The Synth is in worn condition but everything worked perfectly up until it decided to catch fire. Well it did smell like that !! There is no case with the DX7 so it is COLLECTION ONLY sorry about that !!!! ”

“Tunes up, and all of the keys work great, including the velocity/aftertouch. Everything else works perfectly but it is old, so it is being sold as is, no returns. You can come test it out yourself.
Physically it is a bit worn looking The wood side panel has a large chip on the corner as you can see in the photos. and the silk screening has rubbed off in some places along with some paint on the back.
Also, two of the original knobs were missing, so I replaced them with similar looking knobs. One of the original knobs is also missing it’s silver cap, so it’s just pure black.
This is the most expressive keyboard ever! The aftertouch is poly-aftertouch, so each key has individual modulation instead of channel aftertouch like most other keyboards where it affects all voices the same at once. Sounds soooooo good! For a vintage synth you’ll only find this kind of feature in the CS-80 or Rhodes Chroma to my knowledge. Works as a great controller for other synths. The aftertouch has the perfect sensitivity. ”

” It’s been recently serviced and is fully working, in perfect condition apart from some small scuffs on the wood.
