"This particular 777 is more than likely one of a kind. About 5 years ago, Jered, the owner of Future Retro performed some mods on this unit.

Here is a list of the mods:

1. Oscillator Tuning Temperature Stability Mod (Internal, I believe "Temp.-Co" resistors were installed)
2. Oscillator 2 SYNC to Oscillator 1 (SWITCH on back of unit)
3. "Sequencer Glide" On/Of (SWITCH on back of unit)
4. Adjust overall VCF Cutoff modifier amount (POT with knob on back of unit)

These mods are awesome and greatly enhance the sonic palette of the 777 voice, without losing any of the stock sounds....[especially the SYNC mod when using the Envelope to sweep VCO B pitch]. The "Glide" on/ off switch is awesome to throw cool variations of patterns in. I liked programming patterns with a ton of glide and then flipping the switch back and forth to toggle between super rubbery and super tight... The VCF Cutoff modifier lets the filter and res go to unbelievable levels. This is by far the most versatile 777 I've ever laid hands on.

And remember, the design and implementation for these mods was professionally performed by the creator of the 777.

This unit is clean and has lived in a smoke/pet free environment."
