via the seller: "I bought this at a studio sale in NYC in the late 90's and used it exclusively in my home studio until the mid-2000s both studios were non-smoking and clean. I recently had it completely tuned, cleaned, electronics checked, calibrated, bushings replaced, etc. There are some minor cosmetic issues which I tried to capture in the photos. Notably a split/crack in the wood case on the right side of the keyboard, some discoloration/staining on the keys on that side of the keyboard as well and 2 non-original knobs for 1 oscillator ('modulation mix' and 'glide'). Also, at some point someone tried to do some sort of mod, you'll notice the switch on upper left corner of the control panel, I have no idea what this was and had the non-original internals removed (the switch on the front panel is still there but could easily be removed as well). The action on the keyboard is great and all knobs and switches function perfectly with no scratching or noise. The Serial Number is 6253 which I believe makes this instrument from the mid-70s. There is also a small piece of yellow construction paper scotch taped underneath the circuit box which says "Nov. 1974" in old typewriter font."
