"Up for bid with No Reserve is a used working Prophet 5 Synthesizer, and Anvil Road Case. I purchased this item as part of a delinquent storage unit. When I opened the case the foam padding was rotten and all over the synthesizer. Carefully I vacuumed, and blew the foam loose with compressed air. I removed the bottom metal cover and cleaned the inside as thoroughly as possible. I then slowly warmed it up with my variac as shown in the first picture. Actually I let it cook at 40 volts for 30 minutes. It slowly came to life at about 80 volts but was intermittent. The more I played with in the better it sounded. At first only about half the keys worked, after an hour they all work and sound strong.

Just because I got it to work, does not mean it will work properly for you. I am an ebayer, and not a keyboard player or electronic technician. This synthesizer needs to be serviced by a professional. I only tested for output sounds into a guitar amplifier. No recording or programming features were tested."
