"This synth simply sounds amazing. Think Forbidden Planet meets (early) Synth Punk. So much character just in the proto-MS20 LP/HP traveller filter alone (and you can run external sounds through it - it *loves* drums). Toss in pitched noise and an insanely beautiful ring modulator and you've got a lot more sonic range than your usual 2 oscillator analog monosynth.

Working absolutely *perfectly,* with no scratchy pots, intermittent switches or badly triggering keys. Has just been professionally gone through and serviced by Chris Hewitt (This Old Synth, San Jose, CA). This synth is from the later range of production, which used MS20 knobs instead of the metal bezel ones more commonly seen on a 770. They have a really nice feel and you don't need to worry about the metal bezels falling off like you do with the earlier knobs.

I've added Kenton CV / Gate / Filter inputs on the back (see pics), so it's completely ready to be integrated into a modern studio setup. I've also recapped the power supply, and had it fully checked over & serviced by one of the best synth techs in the Bay Area."
