via this auction"f you are familiar with the Korg PS series, these don't come up very often, make no mistake this one is pristine for a 34 year old synth, and sounds fantastic, it has been completely rehoused in a polished solid mahogany case and is the centre piece of any analog collection. I love this monster, but having had the pleasure of its use, my craving for more gear has taken hold once again and this is alot of synth real estate tied up in one big beastie. All pots and keys (except in 2 above) behave perfectly, keybed action feels great. See these links for more details:

Purchased by the previous owner from Ko at Modeless Factory about a year and a half ago who did a lot of servicing work to it including replacing all the edge connectors and electrolytic caps before shipping. When it reached the UK, the previous owner had the MM5824N divider chips replaced with modern CMOS replacements from Flatkeys (they have a life-expectancy of at least 20 years) and it was serviced by Tim Wallhead. It has two minor faults, some paint flaking down left hand edge of metal front plate, but barely noticeable (just make it out on pic 3), up to you if you touch up, and one d sharp key occasionally triggers erratically, which indicates a minor residue on busbar, however these are all work arounds for me and until due a service next."
