"First came the Odyssey Mk I (Model 2800) produced between 1972-75. These used a smooth sounding 2-pole voltage-controlled filter design (model 4023) similar to those used in the Oberheim SEM modules. From 1972 to 74 the Odyssey was produced with a white-faced front panel with black lettering. During 1974 to 75 they switched to a redesigned black front panel with gold lettering. However, all Mk I's can be identified by the rotary knob they use for pitch bending. The unit sounds great for her age, it defiantly needs a good cleaning for something of this vintage, All sliders and caps are with the unit, but needs a good solid cleaning and Lubrication as most are stiff"

Be sure to read up on cleaning ARP sliders. It's not as simple as spraying something in them.
