I have a really nice example of one of these fine machines available! You can see a lot of information on them on this page:

The unit is in perfect working order and had a full service a couple of years ago by these guys: http://www.synthrepairservices.com/ at a cost of £160, since then its only seen home and studio use.

As you can see from the pictures the synth is in good condition cosmetically with just a few nicks and scuffs in the tolex as you would expect from any item of vintage equipment.

One thin panel that gives access to the tuning screws is missing but this doesn't affect the performance of the synth whatsoever and isn't very noticeable aesthetically.

I have used this synth on most songs in 3 releases by my band, and the quality of tone produced is fantastic! Really warm and old school.

It's got a good range of sounds when you consider it's age and a fair degree of manipulation is possible but obviously don't expect the range of features you see on more modern analogue or digital synths.

It would be best to collect this as its really big, heavy and valuable but i'm happy for it to be couriered, be aware it will cost a fair bit as it'd need a lot of protective packaging which would add to its already considerable weight!

Im happy to consider reasonable offers, thanks
