"if you know about the ARP 2600 you also probably know about the very rare early Tonus versions called "grey meanie" and "blue marvin".
The ARP 2600 in this auction is a "grey meanie" version from 1971.
This is one of the rarest analog synthesizers and nearly impossible to find.
After some internet research i found out that only around 15 to 30 units of this version were made and you can imagine how many of these are still around in fully working and original condition.
Maybe less than 5 to 10 worldwide ? I don't know but i think it is impossible to find another one in this condition.The ARP 2600 in this auction is in very good original shape.
All faders are working fine and all plastic caps are on the slider shafts.
No missing screws, plastic parts etc.
All modules inside are original ARP. The filter is the legendary early 4012 version.
No modifications or repairs.
Original reverbtank (big version) is in the unit and it is sounding very very good. The best spring reverb i have heard.
The unit is very stabile in tuning, it is fully calibrated and sounds amazing.
The keyboard is the exact matching keyboard and it is duophone !!!
This was probably a special ARP custom version cause the early Tonus versions did not come with factory duophone keyboard.
The keyboard is working very good without any problems."
