via the listing: "Here we have a Roland RS505 Paraphonic Analogue Synthesiser dating from 1979, originally belonging to Howard Devoto, front man of the band Magazine. It then became the property of Magazine keyboard player, Dave Formula who used it in the band and later went on to use it on the first and second Visage albums.
I bought this off Dave in 2006 and he very kindly signed (large signature) one of the wooden end cheeks in thick gold sharpie pen. Im not posting the pic of the signature for fear of replication but i promise you, you wont be disappointed. I have played it a few times and it sounds wonderful and lush. Please check Youtube for examples. Due to lack of space, ive had it in safe dry storage for a few years and recently noticed that at some point the small Ensemble rocker lever must have unscrewed and I cant locate it so you would have to try and find a replacement switch.
Overall in pretty good shape for age.Built like a tank. No major scratches and no dents."
