"This is an 8-Voice Oberheim OB-Xa analog synthesizer.

It is in incredible cosmetic shape and 100% working.

It came from the factory as a 120 program, 8-Voice unit from the start.

The OB-Xa is considered by many to be the best of the classic Oberheims, providing more stability and features than the earlier OB-X while still having that raw, untamed sonic quality that was mellowed out in the later OB-8. Full 8-Voice units from the factory are getting hard to find, and settling for a 4- or 6- Voice unit with the hopes of adding voices later can be a headache and costly.

This factory 8-Voice is in museum-quality cosmetic shape. I cannot even find a single scratch or blemish on the front panel that prevents it from looking new! The wood sides are excellent, and on the rear the only notable blemish are some scratches along the fins of the heat sink (see photos)..."
