"Serial # 46xx, dates from the early-mid 70's, (I believe).
Original Spartanite case has perfect working latches, all rubber feet, excellent logo, & normal scratches.
Normal cosmetic wear, some of the graphics are worn on face of the synth, please see photo's.
Knobs & pots are all working fine. The joystick works fine but has a bit of friction on the extreme right side as compared to the left side.
Speakers work fine.
Includes ten (10) White Pins, seven (7) Red Pins, & four (4) Yellow Pins.
Includes power cable with European connector & adapter for use in USA.
Includes cable with Cinch Jones connector & three (3) 3.5 mm plugs labelled CV, GATE, & TRIGGER. (I've never used this cable, may be for keyboard connection)
Includes a Moog heavily padded gig bag.
Includes copy of SYNTHI EDUCATIONAL HANDBOOK, SYNTHI BOOK OF SOUNDS, & BLANK PATCH SHEETS. These are used photocopies
I've used this synth for three years & have tested all functions before listing. This synth plays & sounds great. The filter is fantastic !!!
Checked all knobs & pots, joystick, Inputs, outputs, speakers, all jacks, OSCILLATORS, FILTER, ENVELOPE SHAPER, RING MODULATOR, NOISE,
& REVERB (Note: I rarely used Reverb because I used rack effects. The reverb works fine when patched correctly but some patches cause controllable
feedback when Reverb Level is set between halfway & full.
I believe that this is due to my experimental patching which can cause some interesting results."
