SN 0421
"No MIDI, but has a factory-installed cassette interface with original tape labels on panel!
The revision 2 Prophets are extremely rare, and undeniably the best sounding polyphonic synthesizer ever to be produced.
Everything works except three erroneous pots: LFO frequency, goes from very slow to very fast with little in between. OSC A freq does not work at all, and OSC B fine adjusts the freq of OSC A. I have no idea what is wrong, and no desire to have repaired.
The good news is that all other pots and switches work, all 5 voices are working properly, including poly-mods, EG's, etc., all LED's, all keys (and they are still feeling fresh with no sticky/ clacky keys), tuning is pretty tight for a rev 2, it is in fantastic condition, and it was probably assembled in Dave Smith's garage due to its early serial number and Sunnyvale, CA appearing on serial badge. Later rev 2's were made in San Jose. It is serial #0421...'
