Title link takes you to shots via this auction. This one is good enough for your mama.Details:
"This is the original Sequential Circuits Pro-One. You could compare it to the Minimoog or the Arp odyssey but why? The three are the trinity of analog mono-synths. They often sit along side one another, but never do they replace each other.... The most common problem with the Pro-One is the goofy, clunky keyboard. The keys go out of alignment and become uneven. This one is no exception. This IS a snaggle toothed Pro-One. There are also two stickers on the back. One is "Tony Banks" and the other is "Le Car". They are really cool stickers and show that you are musically diverse. Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at PhotobucketI draw close attention to these flaws so they do not surprise you, but when you look at it you really see a beautiful, classic, good-looking synth that you would be proud to show off to your mom."
Actually, the 'snaggletoothed' keyboard is the one that you want. The problem is that the bushings are shot on it, but can easily be replaced with a kit from Archive Sound (http://pw2.netcom.com/~arcsound/). Cost: $45 + shipping. Should correct everything as far as sticky feel, appearance, etc.
ReplyDeleteAlso, the snaggledyness, if I remember right, means this has the much more desirable J-wire Pratt-Read keyboard, which if properly maintained will last loads longer than later Pro-One keyboards which use bubble switches.
i like this guy. what's the point of auctions if you can't be a little sarcasticly antagonistic with your bidders?
ReplyDeleteI agree. Cool auction.
