via this auction"1 -THE SYNTH HAS THE MAIN CPU CHIP REPLACED WITH *EUROPA 2.0.* IF YOU NEVER HEARD OF THIS,I WOULD STRONGLY SUGGEST VISITING THE SYNTHCOM WEBSITE AND SEE WHAT THIS AMAZING UPGRADE HAS TO OFFER THE JP6!
(http://synthcom.com/)
IT REALLY MAKES THIS CLASSIC SYNTH HAVE A MODERN EDGE TO IT! SO MANY AWESOME NEW FEATURES!
2 -THE POWER CORD JACK HAS BEEN REPLACED TO A 3 PRONG TYPE.
THE ROLAND 2-PRONG CORDS ARE HARD TO FIND AND ARE UNGROUNDED.
THE 3-PRONG TYPE CAN BE FOUND AT ANY MUSIC STORE IN ANY LENGTH AND ALSO TO HELP GROUND THE JUPITER.
MOSTLY DONE FOR SAFETY, BUT ALSO TO STOP ANY ANNOYING HUMS AND UNWANTED NOISE. (A POWER CORD IS INCLUDED)
3 -THE REAR OUTPUT JACK (NON-BALANCED TYPE) WAS REPLACED WITH A NEW JACK BECAUSE THE JACK WAS DAMAGED AND INOP.4 -ALMOST ALL OF THE SLIDERS AND POTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED BECAUSE THE OLD ONES WERE WOBBLY OR NOT WORKING TO SPECIFICATION. NOW IT WORKS LIKE NEW!
5 -THE SLIDER CAPS ARE JUNO-106 TYPE CAPS AND ARE BLACK IN COLOR. I STILL HAVE MOST OF THE ORIGINAL CAPS IF YOU WANT THEM AND I WILL INCLUDE THEM IF NEEDED.
6 -THE SYNTH HAS BEEN RESTORED TO ALL THE FACTORY PATCHES. EURPOA DOES THIS WITHOUT USING THE 'TAPE IN' CONNECTORS. EUROPA CAN RESET FACTORY PATCHES FROM ITS OWN ROM!
7 -THE SYNTH HOUSING WAS CLEANED OUT (NO MORE DUST BUNNIES) AND THE KEYBOARD HAS BEEN TAKEN APART AND CLEANED-UP. ALL KEYS TRIGGER AND ALL KEYS ARE EVEN. NO STICKY NOTES OR ANY NON-TRIGGING NOTES.8- THE ALUMINUM SIDES HAVE BEEN SHINED UP A BIT, ITS COMMON FOR THEM TO GET CLUODY LOOKING OVER THE YEARS AS THEY AGE.
9- MOST OF THE CHASSIS SCREWS HAVE BEEN REPLACED BY STAINLESS SCREWS.
THIS SYNTH IS READY FOR ANOTHER 20+ YEARS OF PLAYING!.."
