via the seller: "Vintage ARP 2810 Odyssey MKII with 4035 "moog" filter and factory CV and audio jacks. 4035 filter. This is one of the earliest odyssey II synthesizers. This is truly rare. As-far-as collectable synthesizers go this is one of the big ones. It was produced in a time when ARP was changing the design of the odyssey rapidly. It is an early enough MKII model to have the 4035 filter but late enough to have factory CV jacks. I believe there to be only a few made in this configuration.

The condition on this synthesizer is very good. It has a few minor cosmetic blemishes as is normal on a vintage insturment. Great vintage instrument ready for any serious collection.

This item has undergone a recent full restoration. This is an amazing example of how good a vintage odyssey can be when given the proper service treatment. This synthesizer scales and plays beautifully and is a really strong runner. It was given the full service treatment including: cleaning and rebuilding all sliders, the keyboard has been cleaned and re-bushed, the vintage power supply was rebuilt to original specification using the vintage PCB and Transformer. Some of the capacitors that are known to fail have been replaced along with a couple other preventive maintenance tasks. This keyboard is a masterpiece. Also, the LFO free run option was added to the noise select switch. When that switch is up (on white noise) the lfo will not retrigger with every key press. This nondestructive modification can be reversed. I'm happy to answer any and all questions about the service this odyssey has received.

The filter module is all original. It sounds great. Lots of character with that classic liquid transistor ladder filtered sound.

This item is warrantied. All work on this odyssey is covered for one year from date of purchase. This warranty doesn't cover work done by anyone else or any shipping cost to return the synthesizer for warranty service."
