OBERHEIM Xpander

via this auction (more shots there)
"This is a very fine example ! It is extremely clean and has been well maintained throughout it's life in a smoke free studio. Everything works as it should. It also has the benefit of a recent full service by James Walker of 'Synth Repair Sevices' where the electrlytic capacitors were replaced, Diodes and regulators were also replaced....so good for ages with no worries about power supply faults cropping up.... It had a thorough check over. Encoders were also given their periodic clean. They work perfectly unlike on most of the neglected units out there. This synth has a clean bill of health ....no nasty surprises here ! ...
Nice bright vacuum flourescent display with no burnt out digits.... all connection work as they should with no crackles, loose connections, no unwanted noise from outputs...nice and quiet...no hiss...no white noise from aged parts....Volume pot is nice and tight still. It really does sound as good as it would have the day it left the factory"
