ABOUT US:

WE BUY, SELL & REPAIR VINTAGE SYNTHS & STUDIO GEAR

PROFESSIONAL PERFECTIONISTS WITH 25+ YEARS OF EXPERIENCE

BUY WITH CONFIDENCE. We specialize in high quality, fully-serviced vintage analog synths, keyboards & other used gear. We're professional dealers & musicians too. We know our gear inside and out and treat our customers honestly & respectfully. We've been on eBay for many years. You can find our old feedback under user name minime123. Nowadays, we sell most items directly on our website, but occasionally use eBay too. Please mark us as a favorite seller.

PRICES: eBay and Paypal fees are costly and are factored into our eBay prices. We are a reputable business and will not price match with other sellers selling a much lower quality product and service. You get what you pay for.

ABOUT THIS ITEM:

This item is also listed on our website, so please contact us before bidding to make sure it’s still available.

This item was tested and appears to be working as it should. Most sellers don't spot or mention this, but the backlight is dim, as is typical with these at this point in time, though theyre often completely dead. What this means is you'll either want to use it in a well-lit room or you'll want to replace it. It may be possible our tech can do this for an extra fee - contact us before purchasing to discuss as this may or may not be feasible due to our heavy workload.

This unit sounds great and is in what we'd consider excellent physical condition for a used item of its age, but dont take our word for it - please check out the photos.

Sale includes original box and foam end pieces. The air spaces will be filled with bubblewrap or similar, and the box will have cardboard folded over it before shipping. It's possible the box may see some typical shipping damage but the keyboard itself should arrive intact.

We will also include the floppy disks we got with it. We only tested a few and they loaded up without any trouble, but old disks are notoriously unreliable, so it's very likely some will no longer work. While the synth and original cardboard box are in great physical shape and appear to have been stored properly over the years, the Valhalla floppy disks appear to have had something spilled on them at some point, and it seems some of the Korg disks may have as well, based on the spots on the labels. So there's a greater chance that these disks might not work (and youll want to look inside the valhalla disks especially before using them to make sure theres nothing on them that could come off inside the drive and effect it), but we see the disks as an added bonus anyway since many of these don't come with an original sound library on floppy disk.

Most people buying these today will probably want to upgrade to a virtual floppy drive anyway, but we successfully loaded sounds from disk, formatted a new floppy, saved to the new floppy and loaded sounds from the new disk, so the drive appears to still be working well. RAM test and filter tests passed. Other functions were tested and appear to be working as they should.

The shipping calculator here may be wrong. Buyer pays ACTUAL insured shipping costs.

International shipping: The price using eBay’s Global Shipping Program option is accurate. If you check out using this option, this will be the only option. If the calculator shows a UPS Expedited option, the cost may be a lot less using our UPS account - the best way to calculate shipping via this method would be to go to our website, find the item and use the calculator there since our shipping calculator should be more accurate - but please email us first to discuss as we want to be sure the shipping quote seems right.

We will settle up any shipping differences after the item ships. It will ship within approximately 2 weeks of when we receive full payment. We won’t falsely declare the value of this item, so please don’t ask.
