via the listing: "This is a time capsule piece. This particular T-8 was not sold through a store. THIS T-8 was owned by 'Sequential Circuits' personally (see the foto of the property tag). This particular unit (serial number 8) has a pre-production Main board that was modified to release specs by Sequential (see photo). All mods and updates were performed by Dave Smith and crew.

According to an ex-engineer from SC, this T-8 has all of the latest firmware revs. It has been fully tested and is fully functional. The aftertouch on a couple of the keys is a bit touchy, but that's to be expected after more than 30 years!

I bought this unit directly from SCI when they were bought out by Yamaha. I never used it on gigs. I only used it (mostly) as a controller in my smoke-free studio. As you know, this keyboard plays amazing and was adopted by none other than the New England Digital/Synclavier people for all of their keyboards.

I have never had any issues with this keyboard, It plays super great. Included are about 25 extra hammer mechanisms, as aparently some of the heavier players would break a key now and then; but I never did."
