"For sale is one is very rare Oberheim OB-1 in near mint shape. This may be one of the nicest OB-1's you'll find. This keyboard doesn't come up for sale too often in this kind of condition. Cosmetically it is in near mint shape, with the front face looking perfect & only minor scruffs on the front side. It is 100% fully functional & works perfectly. It's been recently fully restored by a top analog tech & will be ready to use in your studio for years to come. Full restoration details below. The sound is very similar to Oberheim SEMs, & was the first synth to feature patch memory/programs. It is even loaded with the original presets! Awesome bass, thick leads, effects & more. Don't miss out on this legendary synth!
