Interesting tip regarding noisy outs below.

"If you're reading this you already know that this legendary synth is worth every penny. Fat analog bass, ethereal pads and of course that iconic chorus. There's a reason this synth is still in such high demand that Roland created their Boutique reissues (the original is always best though of course ;) )

This particular synth was serviced by The Synth Spa and has had all the voice chips repaired, as well as the power plug modified to a standard IEC power cable (pic #6) instead of the original proprietary Roland power cable, as well as some other minor fixes.

There is one minor dent on the metal frame under the pitch bender (pic #5) and a tiny bit of sticker residue on the top of the chassis (pic #4) but otherwise the synth is in really great condition. Never gigged with and in a mostly smoke/pet free studio.

The audio outputs can be a bit noisy at high output levels, however that seems to be common in the 106 series (I notice the same with my other 106) and it can be remedied somewhat by quickly moving the low-medium-high volume toggle on the rear a few times."
