via the listing: "This unit has been effectively inactive since 1984, when I quit playing. It was stored in my parent's basement for many years, then moved to my home for the last 15. In the interest of full disclosure, here's the bad news: it got wet for a couple of days in a basement flood in 2000; about 6 inches of water. It was dried out, but returned to its place on a basement shelf. About half of the slider tips remain. There is some rust, as seen in photos 2 & 3, but everything moves; no rust lock up on the lid or any sliders. The unit powers on (photo 4), and Osc's 1 & 2 and the noise generator make sound. I used the VCA gain to get the sounds. I could not get the ADSR to work; don't know if there's a problem or if I just don't remember how to operate it! It will require work to get it into the performance shape it enjoyed in the early 80's. The key shaft that attaches the key to the contact wire support on high C is broken (photo 9); glue or replacement is necessary. Some of the contact wires were re-soldered back in the 80's by me while on the road through the Midwest (photos 10 & 11). The back panel that covered the contacts is gone; as I recall, I discarded it so I could quickly access a potentially stuck contact wire during performance..."
