"You won't find a better sounding Odyssey anywhere. This vintage synth has been completely overhauled by the techs at Switched On Austin. Everything is in perfect working order and sounding amazing. Some general wear and surface scratches. Overall in really great shape.

I sent the synth into Switched On when a few of the keys had chipped and broken... I ended up having them replace all of the keys from another donor Odyssey that they had in the shop. Below is the work list of all things done at Switched On.

-Keys addressed & tune up, set up. deluxe treatment.
- Rebuilt keybed.
-PPC modulation repaired - glazed conductive rubber, cleaned, resurfaced.
- Repaired numerous cold solder joints throughout unit.
- Replaced VCO1 SH/ADSR & PW M sliders w/ rebuilt used parts (carbon tracks were worn out).
- Cleaned all switches.
- Replaced all Tantalum caps w/ electrolytics.
- Modified filter to extend cutoff range (stock 4075 only goes to 11KHz, design flaw).
- Fully calibrated unit."
