“For sale is a vintage and rare ARP QUADRA. Cosmetically it’s in very good shape. SEE PHOTOS I think it looks absolutely amazing. The graphics are crisp and very little signs of use all around. There are some areas where the black paint is missing/scratched off along the top back edge where the hinge is. The sides have signs of wear along the edges but are mostly along the back edge. PLEASE SEE PHOTOS FOR CONDITION AND PAINT ISSUES. Functionally there are no known issues with the unit, however I am not an expert. The unit powers on, all keys trigger properly, only the sliders in the Phase Shifter / Output Mixer section have been replaced and do not have the knobs/tops on them. All other sliders and panel switches also appear to work properly. The two sliders in the Porta-Mento section are missing knobs/tops. All the touch switches and LEDS function properly. I have played it out the MONO OUT 1/4″ jack sound output however I have not played it out the other outputs. + owner’s manual”

“I’m selling my 1970’s vintage analog string/polyphonic synthesizer – the ARP OMNI II. If you are familiar with The Cars “Good Times Roll” or Joy Division “Love Will Tear Us Apart” you know the legendary sounds the OMNI II is capable of.

“This auction is for my personal original vintage Arp Odyssey MkIII. It’s been fully serviced with a complete rebuild and restoration of all sliders, switches and the mechanical J-wire keyboard back to “like-new” condition.
“Stunning original condition and superb working order. Complete professional service completed in February 2018 by US Arp specialist. Checked over by our resident synth expert – it is in superb working order. The front panel, controls and keyboard are all superb and undoubtedly in exceptional original condition for a 2600 of this age. The keys of the 3620 keyboard are showing some age in terms of fine scratches and scuffs but overall this is also is excellent condition. The tolex has some wear and scuffs – mostly on the edges – but nothing serious. Overall this is an outstanding example of an exceptional instrument – the best we’ve seen.”
” This very scarce Arp educational module was recently serviced at Switched On and is working perfectly. I used it with my Arp 2600, but it would work great as an auxiliary envelope for eurorack or a Moog Mother 32.
“This module part of the rare the educational series modular version of the arp 2600. It is a single vca but in the context of the 2600 it is a very powerful. The module runs using one 9vdc rectangular batteries.
“An original ARP Odyssey duophonic synthesiser, total analogue sound.

“ARP Quartet KEYBOARD, 49 Keys synthesizer
“This is a non working arp omni 1.
“This is a beautiful early 70’s Tonus branded ARP Odyssey Mark 1, the most desirable of the Odysseys! It is in excellent, Mint minus shape for its age- you won’t find a nicer example of these fantastic analog synths. It has been used lightly in a smoke-free private recording studio. There are very minor signs of use, to be expected from its age. All functions work fine. Occasionally I noticed a little noise when moving the sliders. A tech advised me that this was a simple fix of spraying the sliders internally but I decided not to do it as it wasn’t a problem for me. Two of the colored slider covers are cracked. These little plastic covers can be found on Ebay and in no way affect the functions of the sliders.These Odysseys are fantastic sounding synths- huge, warm, analog sound and it’s no wonder they were embraced by many rock artists like Joe Walsh, ELO, Steve Miller, etc. as well as Jazz artists like Chick Corea and Herbie Hancock. This synth is in fine working condition and in beautiful looking shape. Because of its vintage, I am selling this “As Is”. Item will be packed carefully and double boxed. Also included: Copy of the Service Manual for the Odyssey. Thank you” 
“This is in great working condition.

” This is an Arp Omni I from the 70’s. It sounds phenomenal. This unit was fully serviced 2 years ago, and brought up to spec – every electrolytic capacitor in the synth was replaced, all of the slider switches were cleaned etc. Since then, I’ve only used it my studio.

” Biete einen sehr alten (ca. 40 Jahre) Arp Explorer 1 Synthesizer. Der Arp lässt sich anschalten und funktioniert prinzipiell, allerdings gehen mehrere Schieberegler nur sehr schwergängig und manche Tasten triggern nicht, vermutlich müssten die Kontakte gesäubert werden. Ideal als Ersatzteillager oder Restaurationsobjekt.”
“Räume mein Studio etwas aus.
“Fair Condition. Complete professional service restoration treatment. Too much work was done to list, please ask questions. This one was sitting in a road case that had it’s foam go bad; so, the cosmetic condition isn’t the best. Works 100% and sounds great.”
” ORIGINAL ARP 2600 SYNTHESIZER WITH 3604 KEYBOARD
“An original ARP Odyssey MK1 White Face. The synth has been recently fully serviced, including the keys and is working great.
” Arp Solus, sounds amazing, definitely richer and more lush than the reissue. Tuning and calibration on this unit are rock solid, keybed feels quite nice, cosmetically pretty good, sliders are stiff but all work, a few only have minor scratchiness but overall not bad at all, only issue is missing slider cap for pwm mod but I use a key to move it and this works fine. And sounds beyond amazing. ” 
“RAREST of the RARE: ARP Odyssey Mk I (Late Model 2800-1974-5). This is a two-oscillator analog synthesizer, and one of the first with duophonic capabilities (the ability to play two notes at the same time). This allows you to get that wonderful “guitar-like” distortion when used with Distortion/Flange effects.that bands like Ultravox used to good measure as a lead synth. These early models have a sound like no others.” 
“Fully functional and in excellent cosmetic condition. Has recently been serviced and re-capped. Very minor cosmetic wear (all pictured). This is a plug and play synth ready for studio or stage.” 
” This was a strange storage unit auction find in the midwest. I don’t know the story with the clear body, but I’ve never seen another one like it.
“Analoger Klassiker!
“ARP Quartet ,49 key all switches and controls appear to be in excellent condition Overall excellent condition ,the wooden case NOT INCLUDED . not tested but probably works perfect will need to rewire or replace the power wire very minor fix so being sold as is as found no returns.” 
“I can’t get the string section to work and I’m not the man for the job. My loss your gain! NO reserve! Happy bidding!” 
“Good condition for its age. No issues and serviced before I put it in storage. As you can see in the last picture the panel on the underside is missing but it does not affect performance in any way.”
“Original Rev 3!

“ODYSSEY is 2 VCO, but its 1 VCO version, a synthesizer that can be said as a low-priced version.
“In good working order. A few scratches here and there due to age. Easy and intuitive to programme – fun to play.”
