"Great pads and keys, nice basses. Definitely fits into the spot of 80s-90s type sound workhorse, if you want the one of the machines that just immediately evokes those sounds, this can do it. What is interesting is how it can be pushed into experimental and more modern sounds pretty easily as well.

New battery with holder instead of solder-in replacement to ease future replacement.
Cleaned inside and out
Four hex-head screws hold control panel down. One piece had been cracked and was inside the unit. This has been epoxied in and everything screws down tight and flush.
Volume and data sliders have been replaced. Volume was bad, replaced data just because.
Yellowed keys have been whitened and blended for decent matching and overall color
Comes with power cable
Every connector tested and working"
