“The machine produces an unstable timbre. This appears to be caused by degradation of the power switch. You can reproduce the fault if you wiggle the power switch while you play a note (see end of video). While the 101 behaved reasonably well during the recording of the video, the fault is intermittent and can vary significantly. This is a common issue on the SH-101 and the solution is to either fix or replace the switch. Apart from this, all keys, sliders, buttons, switches and the pitch/modulation bend work, the sequencer stores and plays sequences correctly, arp works, and the output is clean. Cosmetically there is a little wear around the battery compartment lid and the clips have snapped off leaving two small holes. The battery compartment itself is fine and the rest of the chassis looks great. The MGS-1 works although even when at zero it alters the pitch slightly and you need to adjust the master tuning to compensate. The Kenton Pro Solo MK3 is in good condition and works fine.” Click here to visit listing on eBay
