"This auction is for a FULLY SERVICED great sounding Arp 2600 (synthesizer only). And yes, this 2600 features the 4012 Moog-copy filter!
Unit serviced by the one and only dedicated Arp tech of 23 years, Phil Cirocco of C.M.S. / Discrete Sythesizers.Please do your homework on this like I have; visit the above link and see the clients Phil has worked with. Who would you trust when buying this rare piece? Phil wouldn't let me advertise him having worked on this 2600 if I didn't allow him to do the repairs he needed to; he knew I might consider selling it eventually and he prides himself on the work he does. Other units here on eBay have been advertised as being serviced but who knows by who…
…despite the outer case wear and tear this fully serviced Arp comes with a warranty on the following work:
Power supply replaced with a rebuilt stock ARP 2600 power supply and should not require service for many years.All boards and sliders were washed in a chemical bath
Replaced all rusty jack washers (83 total)
Replaced all rusty jack nuts (83 total)
Replaced Reverb tank w/ OEM tank
Replaced both speakers w/ two (2) new speakers (custom-made in the USA to Arp's original specs, 40 ohm coils and the same mounting holes)
All the electronics and everything has been restored to full working order according to ARP factory specs!
All sections have been tested and calibrated and are fully operational!
The VCO' s are totally stable and there is no perceptible drift even when left on overnight!
THE BAD
Phil did not restore the outer cabinet or the slightly worn front panel silkscreen so it remains worn / as-is. The unit is missing (12) slider caps and no replacements could be purchased at the time of repair (but the sliders themselves are easily useable / not damaged in any way). Cosmetically, the outer casing Tolex and hardware has seen better days as can be confirmed in my detailed pics but this is strictly cosmetic! The wood case that is covered by the Tolex continues to function as it should to protect this precious synth.
This 2600 comes with lid, power cable, owners manual & patch book."
