"Up for auction is a very interesting ARP Odyssey model 2810. This vintage synthesizer appears to be one of the first 2810’s made by ARP. It appears to be a factory prototype of the 2810 as the internal serial number engraved into it is 2810-015-PT. We believe the “PT” stands for factory prototype. Based on the component date codes we believe this 2810 was built in 1974. The circuit boards are all mark II. This unit has the sought after 4035 filter (the “Moog” filter.)
Although this unit has several external case dings and scraps here and there, it is in fully functional, excellent working condition and plays great. It has just been refurbished and calibrated by Dean here at Five Star Engineering. Dean was ARP factory certified back in 1976 and has worked on hundreds of ARP Odysseys over the years.
The back portion of the plastic casing has been cut as pictured (ears clipped.) All that was left of the external serial number tag before refurbishing was the hardened label gum, so there is no original external serial number tag presently on it.
This synthesizer has had all of its aluminum and tantalum capacitors replaced. It has had all new key bushings properly installed. All of the slide potentiometers have been properly reconditioned, and they slide like new..."
