Sequential Circuits Prophet 10

Title link takes you to shots pulled via this auction.

Details on this one:
"Here is a rare opportunity to own a legendary Sequential Circuits Prophet 10 in excellent condition. Analogue synths don’t come any better than this double manual beauty. The Prophet 10 is probably the fattest sounding analogue synth ever made and is effectively two Prophet 5’s stacked which can be played separately or simultaneously or even in unison mode to give 20 stunning VCO’s playing together for amazing synth lead sounds. The Prophet 10 can store 64 programmes (32 for each manual). In addition to the Prophet 5, the Prophet 10 has an EQ section, again programmable. Another really neat feature is an LED display which shows which of the oscillators is being used at any time.

This Prophet 10 has been cherished and has recently had new operating system chips (yes, you can still purchase them) and a new power supply fitted. It also has factory fitted midi. Also included is the diagnostic chipset and full technical manual (copy) purchased from Wine Country Sequential and an operating manual (copy)."

"I have had several questions regarding the Revision number. Mine is a Rev 0. There were 2 double manual Prophet 10 revisions - Rev 0 and Rev 1 (I don't know why they were given those Revision numbers). The Rev 1 was the final revision. The Rev 0 has the wafer drive storage for the 2,500 note sequencer - I don't have any wafer disks. The Rev 1 had a 10,200 note sequencer with tape drive. The only other difference was that the Rev 0's were shipped with a memory loss propblem which required a modification called the "ugly mod". Rev 1's were shipped with this modification. My Rev 0 has had the modification and has no problems with memory loss. If anyone has any questions, please contact me and I will arrange to contact via telephone to ensure questions are answered fully."
