via the seller: "looks like the previous owner disfigured top of this TQ5, maybe trying to clean it with an acetone based cleaner. so to clean it up I had to sand and repaint the partial face w/ a silver/grey "hammered on" textured paint. it looks pretty cool and a lot better that it did. and while I was inside,i removed dead battery & I soldered in a new battery holder w/ replaceable 2032 battery, i did a factory reset & set day & time, item works great & sounds fantastic!""The TQ5 was an entry level FM Workstation in a keyboardless, sparsely decorated desktop unit. It takes after the smaller line of FM synthesizers like the DX-100, DX-21, DX-11, TX81Z, and FB-01. These featured 4 FM operators per voice, and 8 voices of polyphony. And like the latter three, 8-parts multitimbrality was featured. The TQ5 also had easy "Quick Edit" keys to access some basic parameters for instant tweaks. The TQ5 was capable of many of the good, the bad & the weird sounds FM synthesizers made.
The TQ5 featured built-in digital effects and an 8-track sequencer (with 8 song capacity) rounding out the "workstation" aspect of this machine. Designed for use as a stand-alone FM workstation or as a MIDI module, the TQ5 was poised to bring high-end FM sounds to entry-level users."
