“Used Juno 60 for sale, powers on and plays, however every 6th key doesn’t sound, I was told by a technition it is probably a bad voice chip. Sold as is, up for your own investigation. Otherwise is pretty good condition. The VCF slider by the bender is also not operational, I bought it this way and played it for years with no problems. I bought a replacement slider for it but never got around to soldering it. A replacement slider is included for the buyer. It has custom exotic hardwood sides and front trim, a big upgrade from the stock fake plywood faux wood. This unit is sold as it. The price of these Juno 60s are going through the roof. If this one was fixed properly it would be a one of a kind beauty. Kept in a smoke free studio and ships in a hard case.” Click here to search for synths on eBay

“Up for sale is my Roland Alpha Juno 1.
It’s a lovely analog synth from the 80s. It sounds fantastic.
This one looks great too. A few marks on the bottom, but for the most part… it’s looks super clean.
All functions work, as I’ve owned this synth for quite some time, using it in my smoke-free studio over the last few years.
Back light on display is good. Esp for the age.
Comes with original power cord, original manual, original sheet music holder (yeah, that’s been in storage) and Roland hard case.
The case is actually for a Juno 2 which is a little bit longer, but I’ve added some foam at the end, it’s a perfect fit.” Click here to search for synths on eBay

“Price is reflective of excellent working condition and money invested in service by LA Synth Co (recommended by Roland tech support for servicing vintage gear). I do hear the most minimal of “scratchiness” in the sliders, but it’s nothing a squirt of Deoxit couldn’t handle and the sliders themselves are very smooth. Buttons, switches, and LEDs are all operational. Case shows less than typical wear for a unit of this age – some slight gaps at the mitered edges but this is normal from my observations of other units and the case itself is intact and structurally strong.
Service performed by LA Synth Co –
~ Completely recapped the unit
~ Replaced the 5101 ICs and installed sockets so they can be easily user replaced in the future if necessary
~ Removed the battery and replaced it with one that is mounted off the circuit board and removable if stored for long periods of inactivity (note – this unit NEVER had battery damage and the original battery was still functioning properly upon replacement).” Click here to search for synths on eBay

” I purchased this keyboard in the mid 80’s and I’ve owned it ever since. It is beast of a machine and if you’re looking at owning one you will no doubt already know the technical specs.
Basically, this is a 6 voice analog synth with 12 analog oscillators (2 per voice). It is MIDI compatible and shares many of the features of its elder brother, the Jupiter 8.
As you will see from the photos it is in immaculate condition for its age. It has never been gigged and has been kept in a smoke free environment.
To the best of my knowledge it was in full working order but I have just discovered an issue (see important note below).
It’s only other issue concerns the single output socket which has the remnants of an old jack plug in it. It’s never been a problem to me as these synths are best played via an LIC (Low Impedence Cable).
The keyboards is sold with a purpose built aluminium flight case (photo to follow), the original manual and an LIC.” Click here to search for synths on eBay

“Roland SH2000 Analog synth in fantastic working condition, sounds great! Everything works as it should. It’s been in my home studio for a few years, well used and much loved, reluctant sale but I need the space unfortunately.
Minor age related cosmetic issues, ‘Repeat’, ‘Tuba’ and ‘Space Reed’ tabs are broken off, which is very common with these due to the design, but they can still be selected easily. The tab for ‘hold’ is missing but the switch is not damaged. (please see photos)” Click here to search for synths on eBay

“Awesome Roland vintage analog monosynth from Roland’s classic SH-series based on a single VCO oscillator. Essentially this is a stripped-down version of the SH-2.
Excellent condition for its age, both cosmetically and operationally. Sounds amazing. Great for deep basslines.
All keys have smooth movement and are responsive. All knobs and sliders operate as intended. Switches are tight. Bulbs indicating power and modulator rate light up. No pot scratchiness.” Click here to search for synths on eBay

“Hi there – we have an awesome rack-mount synthesizer up for auction!
Roland MKS-80 Super Jupiter rack mount synthesizer from 1984.
Also included is the M-64C Memory Card, a brand new power cable from Hosa, and a hard case from Road Runner.
Found this at a thrift store a while ago without any power cable and took a chance on it. After getting a new power cable I was not disappointed – this synth is loud with fat bass sounds.
Now a bit about the condition – this is in used condition. As you can see from the pictures there is a lot of rack rash and scuffs on the top of it’s case. There are other scratches and stuff from general use and or storage over the years. None of which affects the sound.
I was able to test the basic features of this synth – I had another keyboard plugged in by MIDI to test the sounds. All the Bank and Number buttons work to change from one tone to the next. I was also able to use the parameter and value buttons to edit the tone.
I couldn’t figure out how to load or save from the memory card, so that may have to be considered AS IS.
The only negative thing I could find was when using the Volume slider on the front caused static and cutting out of the left speaker. After finessing the slider I got it to come through both speakers. Could be because of dust or possibly something else I’m not sure. Please take this into consideration when bidding or purchasing.
The headphone jack on the front works.
The Upper and Lower 1/4″ outputs work on the back.
It also looks like it has XLR upper and lower outputs on the back, but I was unable to test those.
The tune knob on the front works.
The plastic piece on the Power button comes off if you pull on it, but it doesn’t affect the actual mechanism to turn the machine on and off.
The will be shipped inside the Road Runner hard case to add to it’s protection. ”

“Normal operation of buttons and sliders, sound output,
Sequencer’s input, DIN sync, sound from all keys etc.
Although I confirm the basic function,
Operation with batteries (no liquid leakage) and using tape
Saving etc. are not checked because there is no compatible device at hand.
I think that there is a feeling of use as it is because of age,
I think that there will be no big scratches and it will be a class of good products.
An adapter is attached.
The manual can be downloaded from the Roland site.”

“I bought this synth second hand around 5 years ago and it’s only had light home studio synth use while I’ve had it. It’s in good condition and the keybed is particularly nice to play (far superior in my opinion to my brand new Nord Lead A1!). A couple of things to note, neither of which have proved problematic for me. Firstly there’s a small audible crackle when changing the volume slider (typical on synths of this age). This is not an issue in operation as it’s literally only when changing the volume via the slider. Secondly the octave up and down buttons don’t respond (and never have while I’ve owned it). This hasn’t been an issue for me either – though I guess it’ll depend how you intend to use it (I’ve often had it connected via midi when using it in the studio). Other than that the machine is spot on – particularly so considering the age.”

“Roland Juno 106 for sale in good condition. I have owned this for 15 years, but It hasn’t been used in years. I have powered it on a few times over the years and let it warm up. It was also given a service about 4 years ago, everything was stripped and cleaned, but it hasn’t been used since.
As far as I can tell everything works ok, although the chorus buttons do not seem to do anything. All knobs and sliders are present. There is some slight cosmetic damage to the case. ”

“Very rare classic synth. Fully working, this keyboard comes in its original robust case which despite some wear and tear as well as some wonderful European touring stickers has kept this fabulous classic in splendid condition throughout its long life. My father reluctantly has given this to me to sell on his behalf as he no longer has use for it and is downsizing. His loss will very much be your gain. I have set the reserve at around half what this is actually worth so grab yourself a bargain. Happy bidding”

“Not much to say – pictures say it all. The synth is in near mint condition – it is 9.9/10. Silkscreen graphics are glossy and without blemishes, face is free of scratches or nicks. Minor scuffs on the underside from moving/racking this beast. All sliders and pots are mechanically nice and smooth, few are little scratchy – but it is a 30y+ old synth and as such sold “as is”. It looks as gorgeous and pristine as can be – and you’ll be very happy with its shape and sound. I don’t think you will find one in condition like this one any time soon… or EVER. That is, unless you happen to find a new one in the box.”

“for auction is a used Roland JX-3P synthesizer. PLEASE READ FULL DESCRIPTION
This synth has always functioned 100% for me for MANY years (besides the brightness slider which just broke off near the base of the post… will be included in auction)
HOWEVER… I recently opened it up to change the battery when it died, and realized it is the weird cylindrical type battery, not the
typical 2032 battery I was prepared to insert. I clipped the battery (same voltage) correctly to the posts and the preset saving worked
again. The problem is, now the editor no longer works. When you select a parameter to edit…the moment you touch the value slider, the parameter value jumps down to zero and will not respond to the slider any more. I am certain I didn’t drop anything on the circuit board or accidentally bridge a connection, so I have no idea what happened. It could be something simple to fix for someone who knows the circuit side better. Also.. the editing functions MIGHT respond to the PG-300, or the clone of it. I do not own a PG-300 to test this.
The preset sounds still function normally. You just cannot edit them. They do still save when the battery is connected. I removed the
battery and am just letting the synth go as is. I’m saddened by the loss, it was a favorite of mine, so hopefully somebody will
resurrect it’s full functionality and enjoy it. I do not think the sequencer responds as well.
once again.. selling as is. for parts or perfectly functioning presets to be fixed. ”

“This listing is for a like-new Roland MC-202 analog synthesizer/sequencer. It is in fantastic, fully-functional shape with only two marks on the bottom of the synth. The 202 has not been modded or altered in any way and has seemingly rarely ever been used. The 202 is very similar to the Roland SH-101, though the 202 sports a much more advanced sequencer. Even the box is in good shape. A proper 9V power supply will be included with the synth. Good luck and happy bidding!”

“If you’re looking at this, then you know what it is. I recently bought this from a real ‘synth guy,’ who went over it and serviced it… made it good for years to come. He replaced the battery, re-capped it, and cleaned it up. If you’ve been looking for a great Promars in very good-excellent condition, then this is the one… Also probably the only one available online that ships from inside the United States. It is in 100% perfect working condition.
In the interest of full disclosure, here is a fully transparent (to the best of my ability) description of the synth’s condition, with any and all ‘little’ things that one would want to know:
All original sliders, knobs, buttons, switches, etc. are present and accounted for. There is no writing or stickers anywhere- as far as cosmetic condition goes, there are some knicks on the wooden sides (visible in pics), a little bit of tape residue next to the word “Promars” on the face plate, and a little bit of rust/buildup on some of the screws (which could easily be replaced). Also, the Attack slider in the VCF section is slightly bent, but does not affect function. Synth stays in tune and tracks well.
Also, this is the Japanese version (100V), so you may want to get the appropriate voltage converter for this baby.”
