"This is the venerated Polivoks, by Formanta. The USSR’s foray into the world of the Minimoog, this synth is fairly well known for its insanely good bass sounds, and amazing filter. The filter gets all of the praise here, and for good reason.

This particular synth is in good shape. It works as it should. It is definitely finicky, and needs warmup, as most vintage synths do. Sometimes it goes a little nuts, until it gets warmed up. That of course can be fun... occasionally one key in the lowest octave sticks physically, but if you shift the case slightly, it remedies. There is no top part to the case, but that’s how I bought it years ago.

You’ll need a step down transformer, as this runs at 220V. Comes with the power cable. Again, you’ll need the transformer to use it properly on 110/120V power."
