"Purchased last year from a Roland dealer last as a NOS [New Old Stock] item (in his basement for 30 years, he had never sold it), this single owner RS-202 was recently serviced. Tech tested & replaced various components and all capacitors (including power supply) other than the key capacitors (each key has a capacitor). Key caps did not need to be done as all keys work.

The RS-202 is a classic. It really sounds excellent. Very nice with a phaser. Just a lot of fun. Brings to mind early Genesis/Tony Banks among others. And since this unit has been completely serviced, and has less then 10 total hours of playing time on it, it is currently functioning like a new machine."
