"Here is a 1972-'74 ARP Odyssey Mk1 Model 2800 vintage analog synth. It is in great condition, particularly given its age. I had this passed down to me recently. This synth is very, very clean inside. I replaced all the bushings and contacts, refelted, cleaned the keys, and most importantly took every single slider completely apart, cleaned the parts thoroughly and reassembled after a lube-up: the sliders all operate smoothly and without static. I am not a keyboardist, believe me, but I did sit down and put this synth through its paces using the presets from the manual .pdf online, and the functions all appear to work great, as I was able to evoke all of the varied sounds the patches prescribed- pretty incredible. Also seems to hold tune perfectly, which is a problem with some of these. One thing I will add is that at some point an extra hole was drilled at the back, I assume to add a jack for a CV controller mod, so if you decide to do this, some of the work's done for you. Secondly, my benefactor removed the little colored tips from the sliders. It's just a cosmetic thing- you can buy a set here on eBay for $35..."
