Note the low BIN is because this one needs some work.

"This listing is for an excellent cosmetic condition AKAI AX80 Analog Synthesizer. This unit has been tested functional except it needs a voice chip replacement. Depending on the mode, some keys don't respond...about one note per octave. If you switch modes, it is different keys that don't work. That tells me it isn't the key contact triggers, but the commonly failing voice chip.

All display meters illuminate and are response. All keys have excellent feel and are functional. The small black tune control knob on the left side is not the original color/style but is the correct size and functional."
