"Just in time for the holidays…the one, the only ARP 2600 Synthesizer! You know what this puppy is, what it can do and which Who track it was used on so I’m not going to add anything new here. What I will say is the unit is in excellent condition. It was refurbished and calibrated by Phil Cirroco in 2008: 1 PS ripple: rebuild power supply - hacked badly; 1 VCA is hacked - install 4019 replica; 1 sh is hacked - install a 4015; 1 all board missing mounts - install mounts; 1 bogus APU - install CMS APU: extra work involved; all scratchy sliders - lube; 1 sine wave bad - repair converter; 1 adsr to filter - bad jack - replace; 2 speakers clipping - repair power amps; 6 missing panel washers - replace fiber washers; 24 all PS bypass caps missing - replace; 1 clean FP, inside, lid; 1 calibrate. His rebuild took some 6 months. Part of that, of course, is he’s a pretty sought after tech. But as a note of caution to all you collectors out there, the previous owner of this synth (or maybe someone before her) really screwed up trying to fix the power supply and other modules along with doing a miserable job of doing the audio upgrades. If you want a 2600 on the cheap just be sure you ask the right questions..."
