” For sale is my Yamaha DX7 Digital Programmable Algorithm Synthesizer 61-Key Keyboard. Condition — For parts or not working. However, it does power on and might be easily repairable.
I purchased this new in 1986. I used it on hundreds of gigs. But for the last two decades, it sat in my office and was used only for sequencing. However, last week when I turned it on, you hear noise coming out of the main output as well as the headphone jack. Underneath, you can hear the keyboard playing faintly. So, it might be an easy repair.
Also the power cord looks like it’s about to come undone — I’ve had it taped for many years and it’s powered on.
As you can see in the pictures, some of the plastic covers are worn off. However, that’s just cosmetic — all the buttons work! Also, the B with the raised key also works!
It’s seen better days, but the DX7 was the first great digital synthesizer and was the industry standard in the ’80s. So, it could be restored and be used for many years to come! The following descriptions illustrates the historic importance of this keyboard —
I have the original owner’s manual.
NOTE: I have received several requests to ship this piano. Hadn’t planned on it — truthfully, I don’t want the hassle of boxing it up, etc. But, if the buyer is willing to pay the exact cost, I will ask a UPS store how much to box it and ship it. (Keyboard IS heavy, over 50 pounds — cabinet is metal, not like the plastic on today’s keyboards!)” Click here to search for synths on eBay
