“Roland Paraphonic 505 Synthesizer. Condition is Used.
This is a ONE OWNER instrument. I bought this new in 1979, and it has never been taken out of the home (non smoking home) except when I moved from So Cal to the PNW. Other than being dusty when I brought it out of the closet, I did give it a good wipe down, and it is in fantastic condition. In picture #4, the “release” slider is slightly bent, not broken, and it, as with all sliders and knobs, work great. I DID spray contact cleaner in all sliders, plugged it in, and all works just fine. I will say that when testing all the keys, SOMETIMES I would hear a “scratchy” sound, then when key was depressed again, no scratchiness, so I would think that after 40 years, this was a contact point getting the “cobwebs” out. 🙂
Just being totally honest and upfront.
If you are still reading this, then you know the unique warm and lush sounds this full analogue synth can produce.
