This one has some issues.
"Up for the bid, a vintage Chroma Polaris from Fender that was designed for the most part by ARP design team right before Fender acquired ARP's assets.
This unit is in somewhat rough physical condition (due to some rust on the back of the case) but it appears to be working properly except for a few buttons/leds that don't appear to respond (it's the buttons in the right column of the "Assignable Control" section: Bend Lever Range, Vibration Delay, Osc1 Vibration, Osc2 Vibration, Osc2 Env and Detune button - I marked them on one of the pictures). They were intermittent at fist (sometimes worked sometimes didn't) but now they don't work at all. I'm not sure if this is just some cable connection or the buttons just broke down but since there are narrowed down to just one section, I suspect it may be just a loose wire somewhere. HOWEVER, PLEASE CONSIDER THOSE BUTTONS AS NON-FUNCTIONING WHEN BIDDING!
The Ring Mod led also doesn't light up but the button itself seems to be working (at least I think it's working because when I press it, the sound changes). Otherwise, the synth appears to work fine (to my best knowledge, although I haven't tested the MIDI ports recently so I'm not sure if they work). All sliders appear to function and no slider caps are missing as you see on the pictures. Please examine the pictures and ask questions before you bid!"
