via the seller: "This is a 100% fully functional ARP Odyssey with factory cv ins/outs and external audio input

This Odyssey has been fully restored by Syntaur here in Texas. I have two odysseys right now and this one sounds cleaner and stays in tune better. The keys feel great with a good amount of resistance. The sliders feel good and don't crackle when moved. The slider caps appear to be original. The text is slightly smudged on the osc1 section and a little faded on the Odyssey logo. The plastic housing is scratched on the inside left and broken on the back left. One screw does not match on the back.

The work recently done included but was not limited to

-recapped power supply
-tuned and calibrated
-cleaned and lubed all pots, switches and caps
-every slider was either replaced or desoldered / disassembled / cleaned and lubed.

Here's a link to a video syntaur made about how they restore all of their ARP sliders:
