Update: "Fantastic and nearly perfect ARP 2600... perfectly playable, has NOT been upgraded or modded. Calibrated and adjusted by Ed Miller, LA - Area synth tech on 5/22/14. Newly tightened and cleaned keyboard connector, unit is completely STOCK and near perfect condition. UNPOTTED submodules means that this synth can be worked on easily, but at this point in time is PERFECT and needs NOTHING electronically, keyboard tracks perfectly. THIS IS A MONSTER SYNTH AND SOUNDS FANTASTIC.

It is a 2601 model, so one of the last made, therefore in much better condition than earlier models - All sliders and controls function smoothly, no corrosion on any component, including the interior electronics. Purchased from a professional recording studio, not a "touring" machine. Silk-screening is pristine, The machine looks brand-new. Less than usual wear on Tolex, for a synth nearing 30 years of age and a thoughtfully smoothed over corner of the keyboard case shows some wood. Keyboard could benefit from rebushing, but ALL KEYS TRACK PERFECTLY and the machine is guaranteed to be playable as a musical instrument upon arrival. One slightly discolored key, Mr. Miller tells me this is because of differences in plastic dyes used during manufacture.

Complex and infinitely adjustable machine, but a novice can get it running within ten minutes without any manual at all. Just work from left to right and follow the silkscreened flow chart. Much simpler (and also much more complex) than it appears.

6 patch cords included, no manuals, but these are easily downloadable or obtained from other ebayers. Also including two 1/8" to 1/4" patch cords for audio output to your amp, otherwise playable through the "reference" internal speakers."
