via this auction"Offered for sale is this amazing Roland TB-303 in original condition, together with original carry case and (for UK buyers) a Roland power supply.
It has just been serviced by James Walker at Synth Repair Services, is in perfect working order and sounds amazing. The front panel is in excellent condition (please see 31 detailed photos below): there are some marks to the paintwork - especially to the rear panel where some of the original finish has been lost, but overall this is in exceptional condition.
The service comprised of replacing the tact switches; replacement of the mini and 1/4" jack sockets and the DC input socket; re-calibration. No other internal parts were replaced - all transistors and pots are original so it sounds exactly as it should.
We also have an as-new Phillip Rees MDS Midi-Sync24 Converter which can be used to trigger the 303's patterns via Midi; please get in touch if you wish to purchase this alongside the 303.
It is in perfect working order - all pots move smoothly and noiselessly and all pots, switches and knobs function exactly as they should - it is a joy to play and program. Internally it is very clean and there's no evidence of any past leakage in the battery compartment.
(It is always possible with vintage equipment that crackly pots/sliders may develop over time when equipment has not been used - even during shipping - this can usually be easily rectified either by a few turns or in extreme cases, with suitable switch-cleaning spray)."
