“I have owned this Moog for 10 years and treated it with love. It has mostly stayed inside my home during that time. I am including a soft Moog case that helps protect it at home, however I would recommend buying a hard case if traveling with it.
It will need to be tuned. Outside of that, it’s in great shape.” Click here to search for synths on eBay

“This is in perfect condition, every single slider, switch and button is rock solid and has virtually zero cosmetic marks. There are 2 very useful mods carried out by Robin Whittle himself, a filter cutoff CV input and an audio input to the filter/vca. Both inputs are protected with resistors and can be safely used with Eurorack modular levels. The sockets are in the battery compartment as it’s the only real safe place in the case, so batteries cannot be used without removing the mods. I would never use the batteries with this anyway.
Comes with the full Technology Transplant replacement slider and volume pot set should you ever need to replace the sliders. This is my second 202 that never got gigged or abused in any way. ” Click here to search for synths on eBay

“Here is my Roland CR78 which is in beautiful condition considering how old it is now.
This one has a midi kit fitted and is a rarity to find anywhere.
The Midi works like this
1. Clock (switch left): The CR-78 disables the internal tempo clock and can only be driven via a MIDI timing clock (MTC). This setting is to be used if you want to sync the pre-programmed sound or the local memory to the MIDI clock. It won’t accept any note on/off messages and the voices will not trigger externally.
2. Norm (switch centre): The CR-78 acts like it has no MIDI interface installed an will not accept any kind of MIDI message. The LED on the front goes green and internal tempo clock is selected.
3. Note (switch right): This is the main one you will be using in the studio. The internal tempo clock is disabled, clocking is done via MTC and note on/off messages will trigger the voices. You cannot start the clock from the front panel! At present the kit is tuned into channel 10 by default.
This is the 220-240V UK / EUROPEAN VERSION.
However there are some faults.Please read on.
Usually the unit works perfect and everything works as it should but every so often the bass drum,snare,cowbell fail to work.All the other sounds work fine.This could be a loose connection or something else inside the unit thats causing this fault.All the presets work perfectly and all sliders and buttons working.
However all the sounds work in Midi mode when hooked up as a sound module to your DAW.
I dont have the time to have this looked at or do it myself so it will need a good servicing by a qualified technician/synth doctor.” Click here to search for synths on eBay

“I purchased this from an auction in Japan. At the time I was also bidding on a System 100m kit, and the keyboard was sold separately. I ended up winning only the keyboard, and have kept it for almost a year. Now it is time to let go.
I have no other CV synth to connect this to, so I can’t test its functionality. However, the original seller used it with his System 100m and said everything was working fine.
Other than cosmetic wear, I cannot see signs to suggest that there are problems.
There is some oxidation to the connectors at the back panel, and may require cleaning.
This looks to be a nice unit for its age.
All keys are level and responsive.
Please look at the pictures carefully and decide for yourself. This being used vintage gear, I cannot offer any warranty or returns.” Click here to search for synths on eBay

” Up for sale is my vintage Roland JX-3P analog polyphonic synthesizer. It’s extremely clean and in very good cosmetic condition. I’ve owned it for about five years now. The synth is also fully functional. I just had it serviced by a reputable synth tech here in Phoenix, and the following work was done:
a faulty voice chip (IR3109) was replaced;
a new patch memory battery was installed;
a new, three-prong grounded power cable was installed;
a chipped key was replaced; and
the unit was calibrated to factory specs.
I spent close to $250 for the work, including the voice chip, which I sourced myself. I can e-mail you the receipt if you’re interested.
You’re getting a lot of value here. Compare this unit to others those you see on eBay, where sellers are asking premium prices for JX-3Ps that are either totally beat up or aren’t working. Or, if you find them relatively cheaply, they’re usually from Japanese sellers and you have to pay $200 just for shipping.” Click here to search for synths on eBay

Everything is fully functional, and in excellent cosmetic condition. All the knobs and sliders are intact and original.

“Synth is cosmetically in great overall condition but has recently stopped working, it still lights up but I’m getting no sound and the display lights up but is now blank – I’m not sure why. I don’t have the original power adapter, but I have been using a standard 9V adapter which has worked fine for years – this is not included as I still need it. One of the knobs is missing on he portamento but can still be used without it or could be changed with one of the other knobs if needed.

“1983 KORG Poly-61 Poly61 Vintage Analog Synthesizer For Parts or Repair
This keyboard was a victim of battery leakage. The repair shop I took it to tried their best to fix the issues. But, problems still remain. So, it is being sold, “as is”, for parts or repair.
The good:
– Outputs work
– All keys work*
– Memory works (new, jury-rigged, replacement battery)
– Joystick works
– All functions and modes work (poly, chord memory, hold, arpeggiator, tuning, tape load, arpeggio in, etc.)
– LED displays and lights work
The bad:
– Buttons 1, 2 & 3 are hard to get to work with just one touch – usually triggers multiple times
– Missing one screw (and its cam screw on the back side) on the top panel
– *Bottom C, C# and middle C# have contact issues
– Missing one rubber foot on bottom
& The Ugly:
– Back, bottom-right corner is broken off (see pictures)
– Joystick is bent
– Dings and scrapes
– Some non-original bolts on bottom” Click here to search for synths on eBay

“First, it should be clear that this is a USED, VINTAGE synthesizer/keyboard. This is from the estate of a jazz player who used this for several years. It shows signs of wear and use, and while it has been tested out extensively by another jazz player, we cannot be certain that every combination of options have been tried and tested… a really great musical tool, but it is what it is!!! The only noted minor issue is that the Bb3 key is slightly bent to one side and occasionally sticks a little. I don’t expect that this is hard to adjust, but I am not a keyboard technician, and if I paid one the price might go too high. I tried to document everything, so PLEASE check out the pictures.” Click here to search for synths on eBay

“Original KORG MS-20 mfg. between 1978 and 1983. Made in Japan. Being sold as “parts not working” because there are some scratchy pots and I am not a good enough synthesis person to accurately test how this is supposed to sound. Here’s what I know: It powers up and when I open up the filters all the way it seems to sound like it should. Here is what I have been able to test as best I can and feel confident listing: All keys working with no sticky keys. Both VCOs work (waveform select, tuning, octave, mix) seem to work as should. Filters (1 high pass and 1 low pass) with peak (resonance) also seem to work as should. All the Envelope Generator stages seem to control ADSR as they should and the modulation generator (LFO) seems to work as should. Portamento too. What I am not sure about is the modulation wheel. When I patch out of the Mod Wheel CV out jack I can get it to work on by patching into one of the VCO in jacks changing the pitch of one of the VCOs (not sure which one) and it only bends up. I am not sure what the button below the mod wheel does and don’t know how to test it. Again, the main reason sold as parts-not-working is the scratchy pots issue and I am not sure how to program and really test all the patch points to know if it is working 100% properly. Please make sure you are OK with that before bidding. Feel free to ask questions and if there is something you want me to test I will be happy to do so and report back. A bit history on this… I purchased it in late 1993 and it has sat in my smoke-free office unused since. So it essentially not been powered up for the last 25 years. So in spite of the scratchy pots, is is a low-hours item. Since sold as Parts-Not Working there are no returns, no inspection periods. ” Click here to search for synths on eBay
