"This is a new old stock Korg PolySix analog synthesizer. I purchased this from Bearsville Studios when they were going out of business about fifteen years ago. The studio apparently purchased this as a backup to their original PolySix and another early polyphonic synth that I can't remember but it was never even opened. I actually had a PolySix and a Prophet-5 in my private studio at the time, but because this was brand new, I couldn't pass it up. When my original PolySix went haywire on me a few years later thanks to the notorious battery leakage, I intended to start using this one and had it completely serviced in late 2006 but I was just finalizing the conversion of my studio to digital at the time and this was basically left behind. After getting it back from the tech it went straight into storage, where it's been for close to ten years now. Comes with the original manual, sound charts, sales receipt (it was purchased at the old Sam Ash on 48th St. in Manhattan for $700 in 1984), and shipping box. It's very much a time capsule piece and you'd be hard-pressed to find a better PolySix."Hopefully the tech replaced the original battery which are known to leak over time. If you ever pick up a Polysix be sure the original battery has been replaced, and that there is no damage to the circuit board.
