via the seller: "Two years ago I had my Prophet T8 serviced by the knowledgeable folks at Wine Country, the defacto authorities beyond Mr. Dave Smith on Sequential Circuits gear. After spending about a grand on my synth, they told me my T8 was one of the best physical condition synth (T8) they had ever worked on or seen. I've got pics to draw your own conclusions from; send request and I will provide. This Prophet synth is the best of the Prophet series, with weighted keys, velocity sensing provided per solid state switching that provides a wider dynamic range in velocity sensitivity, with release time controlled by the velocity with which the key is released. This was revolutionary technology back in the day my friends. After touch can be used to control the frequency of Oscillators A and B, pulse width of OSC A and B, as well as filter, amplifier, LFO, and LFO Frequency. It includes an onboard sequencer, is eight voice with 16 oscillators assignable in four modes: Single Mode with all eight voices across all six octaves, Double Model which blends two different programs into each of four voices, Split Mode divides the keyboard and allocates four voices to each side of a programmable split point; and UNISON Mode which combines up to eight voices on one note.... 76 keys with midi. The Prophet T8 is the the heaviest beast full of filters and analogue goodness ever made by SCI. This synth plays, looks, and sounds immaculate; auction price begins at $5500 NOTE::: As this synth is listed for sale locally, I reserve the right to cancel the auction at any time; Ive allready had inquiries and offer, first come first jam out to the maximum.... BTW, I had a nice fellow advise me that shipping post was in error; and he was right. The shipping is the buyers responsibility, and will be added to your bid. Ive shipped synths for years without any problems, but given this synths weight ( about 70 pounds boxed up ), I believe you should budget at least a couple of hundred bucks for shipment. Blessings and best regards; and thanks to my friend for the heads up. .."
