via the seller: "Just out of 20+ years of clean/dry storage- Clean, Original, Vintage Analog, Super Rare -Star Instruments Inc, Synare Percussion Synthesizer PS-1- stamped serial # 0160, made in Stafford Springs, CT! Also included is the original 50 page user manual. I got this awesome synth in a band gear trade from the original owner in the mid 1980s, used it low hours in the studio- and stored it since. This unit powers up, makes notes/noises-has both working red indicator lights, the original rubber sensor pads dried and deteriorated with age- all rubber pads and glue carefully removed- the sensor pads are in great condition with no dents/scratches/resin staining. Each of the 4 pads have 3 sensor sections, and all work fine- fingertips only-sticks were never used. All switches/sliders are working and changing pitches and waves like they should-they all are dusty and crackle and the main volume slider has loose contact-works, but is touchy. Only missing the white noise knob. I've never opened this unit up myself- will need contacts cleaned for sure. Has hi and lo and headphone outputs- the hi output seems hotter/louder, the lo is weaker/softer."
