CLASSIC 1970's OBERHEIM OB-1 SYNTHESIZER

via this auction
"My parents bought it for me back in the 1970's. It hasn't been played in over twenty years. I recently discovered it cleaning out the attic. It does have some wear on it as can be expected for it's age. Some of the screws have rusting on them. One of the keys has a slight burn mark on it. I plugged it in and it lights up and makes sounds, the volume knob had a lot of noise in it when turned, so I sprayed some contact cleaner in the pot and quietened it down a bit. All the keys work and are in pretty good condition. The back has some scratching on it. Not sure if everything is working quite like it should as all I could get it to do was make some wierd CP-30 star wars type sounds. This keyboard needs a good tech to bring it back to its former glory. I'm selling this item as is." Inside an Oberheim OB-1.
