Roland SH-1 vintage analogue synthesizer

"This is a Japanese 100v model, I'll supply a basic converter for it to run in the UK but there are better, more versatile converters on the market. 100% functional, even comes with the plastic protective shield that originally lay over the face of the synth underneath the sliders (this was fitted when I bought it but thought it was a bit like sex with a condom so I removed it). Contrary to what I've seen elsewhere this isn't better than a sh-2, 09 or 101, just different, they all have their strong points, compared to the 101 I used to have I much prefer the controls/sliders on this, but I really miss the sequencer on the former. Also the trigger in is +15v as opposed to +5v like the 101, which I found to be a pain as most other gear is +5v compatible. Key action is clunky and horrible in my opinion, just like the other 70's Rolands I've tried/used, but it's down to taste I guess. Anyone interested should come view this first to see for themselves how shockingly good the condition is and to assure themselves of it's working condition too."
