"Here is a serious gem of a 1974/5 analog synthesizer. This Roland SH-1000 sounds fantastic and is 100% operational, tuning is good. (Don't expect these to lock into tune like a modern Prophet 08)-- this puppy is stable after a few minutes and occasionally needs a tweak there after. This is in collector condition, maybe a few light scratches and few tiny spots but overall very clean, well kept and beautiful. All original parts, never serviced, original case (smells great- no must or odor), original manual (a $75 value in itself!), keys are straight and work great, every switch and slider tested by ear during highly enjoyed hours-- it all works great.
All knobs, faders and switches are original and work great WITH ONE EXCEPTION, and this is the 1% that keeps this from being a $1000+ vault piece-- the Sawtooth Rate knob's potentiometer in the Mod. Gen. section (only controls the sawtooth speed of the tremolo option) has either come unscrewed or the shaft is possibly broken. (see picture #8) I believe it simply came off it's nut because if you pull up on the knob and turn, the potentiometer still works well and changes the rate."
