“Moog Prodigy 336A Synthesizer Keyboard –
This unit produces sound and effets but not pitches. Every key is the same sound. Every switch and dial affects the single tone. All keys work but one is not square and will need to be reset back into proper allignment.”

” My father brought this home new from Radio Shack as a gift for me in 1982.
Model number 42-4000, serial number 6761.
It was working reasonably well until I decided to degunk the inside and replace the faders, as one of the tone generator faders was noisy. I bought replacement parts on eBay long ago (i.e. chipforbrains’ 43 piece reproduction slider and caps set, in 2011), then the project was shelved. I would love to get it reassembled and working again, but I’m downsizing and just do not have room for it. The original box and documentation is gone. I made no modifications (i.e. did not try to install MIDI or other changes).”

“This a vintage analog polyphonic Roland Alpha Juno synth. A great way at getting a classic Juno sounds cheaper than the other models. The synth is in great condition, except for a small crack near the power switch…. this does not affect playability and the structure of the synth is still solid. The synth works perfectly except for the backlight for the screen is a bit faint, but you can still see the values on the screen… you may want to get a new bulb at some point. This comes with a Roland MSQ 100 digital sequencer, i bought this recently but never got around to trying it out. The unit powers up ok and I was told by the previous owner that it worked fine, but I don’t have midi cables to test out the unit…. b/c of this, I’m saying the sequencer is untested. ” Click here to search for synths on eBay

” Very good condition, only small scratch on back, see photo. Tested, all functions seem to work well. Sounds good through headphones. I am not a musician, don’t know much about synthesizers but appears good.
Adding more info:
I got it from an estate, don’t know it’s history.
Each button, key, switch or knob makes a sound or an effect. Seems perfect. I don’t know how to compose a song or a tune, but I can make some cool sounds come out!
Don’t have time or interest to take it to a music shop for an evaluation. I set opening price low compared to market. Bid accordingly.” Click here to search for synths on eBay

“This is a Jupiter-8. You know what it is, you know what it sounds like.
I’ve owned this particular JP-8 since the early 90’s. It had been dropped some time in its life prior to me buying it. It is a very early serial number (May 1981, 210th JP-8 ever made). Over the years, I’ve owned 5 or 6 other JP-8s and every time I compared them, I always kept this one. There’s just something special about the way this one sounds.
Over the years, I’ve added the Encore MIDI kit and have recapped the power supply and output board and installed new regulators in the power supply. There have been other minor repairs over time, but nothing especially difficult or comprehensive.
Since this is a vintage synth, I would think any potential owner would like to have a set of hard to find parts, just in case, right? Why spend a lot of money on a vintage synth and then have to spend hundreds of dollars and lots of time tracking down very rare spares? I’ve done the work for you here.
You get the JP-8 plus original owner’s manual, Encore MIDI manual, fold out service manual, and a lot of spares. Among the parts are – replacement sliders, extra knobs and slider caps, extra potentiometers, a couple posistors, some rare metal cans, a dozen BA 662’s, an IR3109 IC, some new black keys, some new white keys (including a high C) and some used white keys, springs, some new tact switches, and some original switch caps from a TR-808. Basically anything your tech would need other than stock IC and resistors/caps.
The JP-8 has been tested and I recently did a quick tune of the oscillators and is 100% working. Shipping it, or any extended car ride will likely get it slightly out of tune/calibration, but getting it back in tune is something that you or a tech could do in less than an hour since the autotune gets it the rest of the way once you’re close.” Click here to search for synths on eBay

“Roland JX-8P is a 61-key, velocity and aftertouch-sensitive, six-note polyphonic, fully analog synthesizer, in my possession since 1987. I gigged with it until the early 90’s and since then it has been part of my studio. Now the pleasure can be all yours. I have made two videos showing: that all the keys work; a random selection of the presets working – they all work; and midi in and out working. Happy to send these to you on whatsapp, just message me with your telephone number. The case comes with it, it is homemade and will be used to ship securely. The whole package weighs about 30lbs/13Kg, shipping costs to be paid by buyer” Click here to search for synths on eBay

“The synth is in excellent condition. There is a small hole at each end (see pics) that have been there since I purchased it some years ago. They are in no way have any effect on the operation of the synth. Aside from those, cosmetically it’s amazing. Minor signs of wear, but nothing of note. All knobs and sliders are intact and all lights work perfectly. Audibly all is also fine with no crackle or any other issues. Overall, the synth is in perfect working order and a must-have classic!

“This item is,
It is a DX 100’s thing.
MIDI / IN, OUT, PHONE, LINE OUT,
Power supply and terminals are confirmed.
Image ② upper left PITCH (pitch vendor) has trouble, because it was holding with tape, there are tape marks.
Image ③ There is also a tape mark on the battery cover.
The appearance, the keyboard, the button, the display, the inside of the battery holder are also beautiful, there is no trace of liquid leak, but there are dirt, scratches etc due to aged deterioration.
Other than that, there are not particularly conspicuous parts, I think that the state is good.

“For sale by original owner, purchased 1986, serial #02241. Exterior condition: excellent; never left my studio – but diskette drive needs replaced (“Lh” locked head error msg, will not read disks).

61-key velocity-sensitive keyboard (no aftertouch)
12-bit sampling at 42K, 32K, or 16K
512K sample memory (two banks of 256K)
8-voice polyphony
Great-sounding analog VCFs (with resonance) and VCAs
Samples can be mapped into 8 layers across keyboard

Built-in arpeggiator
MIDI In/Out/Thru
Original footpedal & approximately 100 sample diskettes (3.5”) included. (Can’t guarantee that 100% of them will read, given their age and because I can’t load them with its current floppy drive – however, approximately 35 backup copies—smaller boxes in the photo—are also included.)
Spring for pitch-bend was replaced.

“This is for a used Sequential Circuits Six-Trak Vintage Analogue Synthesizer. The body is in decent shape has some nicks and scuffs as shown in picture but nothing major. Keys work perfectly, sounds awesome. The speed knob works fine but i think it has been replaced as it’s a little wonky but still works fine(right knob shown in picture) The 6 key works but sometimes needs to be pressed hard and last-the rubber around the end of the outlet plug is starting to degrade as shown in picture. All that said still works good and sounds amazing.” Click here to search for synths on eBay

” You will not be disappointed from the big rich tones that this unassuming synth puts out. One of the original predecessors to the Dave Smith prophet, this synth has 100 presets that give off that quintessential 80’s sound with looks to boot. From funky to spooky this synth will definitely make you think of soundtrack to stranger things. it has a built sequencer that features 6 banks you can store or stack tracks in. I can’t even begin to describe how BIG of a sound it has, it gives my Roland Juno 60 a run for its money. Minor scuffs and scratches that would be common for a synth of its age.

“I’m selling my Ensoniq ESQ-1 synth to make room for new gear in my studio. I’ve had this keyboard synth for about a year and have not had any problems with it. Cosmetically it is a little bit worn, but all the functions seem to still be good and operational. The only issue with the unit currently is that the internal memory battery is low so patches can’t be saved. I bought a replacement battery but never got around to installing it and thought it might be better to let the next owner decide how to handle that.” Click here to search for synths on eBay

“Please note: NY State residents will be charged 8.88% sales tax on checkout.
This E-Mu SP-12 Turbo (5 seconds total sampling time) is in excellent working and physical condition.
This particular unit has 6 switches on the back that can turn the filter on channels 1-6 on or off, for audio coming out of the individual channel outs and the mix out.
I just did the following (I have experience with SP12’s and SP1200’s—I have done the same to several prior to this one.):
-Disassembled and cleaned all button and pad contacts.
-Overhauled (completely disassembled down to individual components, cleaned, lubricated, and reassembled) all 8 slide potentiometers
-Installed a new transflective wide viewing angle FSTN LED screen (brighter than the original backlit display, and does not use an inverter for power so there is less potential noise in the audio). The screen is brighter than appears in the pics, I used a flash for the pics and it’s hard to capture the brightness of a backlit screen with a flash.
-Installed a new faceplate overlay and backplate overlay.” Click here to search for synths on eBay
