Some history via the seller: "Up for sales is an Arp Pro Soloist Synthesizer keyboard. I purchase this keyboard in 1976. I believe that this unit was manufacture in 1973 if my memory is correct. In the fall of 1976 I saw Steve Walsh of the group Kansas play an Arp Pro Soloist, and I ran out that same week and got myself one. I sounded GREAT! I am the second owner of this instrument. It has been stored (smoke free, pet free) for the last 30 years when I put it in storage.
When I got it out of the basement in June and I was surprised that after 30 plus years in storage, it need very little restoration work. It has never experienced a breakdown and thus has never been repaired or modified. I don’t have the owner’s manual anymore, but as far as I can tell, everything is working properly. From what I remember not all touch effects are available on all presets. This was by design and is not a defect. The restoration includes;1) Polish and clean keyboard bus and contacts
2) Spray clean and lube sliders
3) Cleaning inside and out of the entire instrument
If you are a purest of the Pro Soloist, you will notice that it is missing the original slide knobs and music rack. The slide knobs came off fairly easily, so most musician just removed them. Another Ebay listing has the knobs. Also included in this listing is a new, custom made road case for the Pro Soloist (see pics). Here is a list of what is included in this listing;
1) One (1) Arp Pro Soloist Synthesizer Keyboard Model 2701 – Serial Number: Can’t Tell
2) One (1) Extra Arp Pro Soloist Road Case Sticker
3) One (1) Custom build road case w/custom inserts
4) One (1) Arp Pro Soloist Service Manual
THIS IS THE ULTIMATE ARP PRO SOLOIST PACKAGE! - GET IT NOW!"
