Posting for the pic of the inside below. Pretty amazing how small the engine board is. This one is scuffed with the following seller's notes: "Anyway, it's in used condition - when I got it the keybed wobbled and the data entry knob needed DeOxit. So, I took it apart and reinforced/replaced the keybed supports with new screws - it now plays as good as new, aftertouch is perfect too. In the interests of full disclosure for the sale, I've added a couple of photos of the inside of the synth showing where I've reinforced and renewed the key struts. They should last a long while now.
Likewise, the single endless pot on this - the data dial - suffers from potentiometer jump (like the Dave Smith synths) and needs a regular DeOxit but it perks up nicely. Being so knobby, the data dial isn't as essential as it otherwise might be, it's not required for patch switching or general programming. I can link a buyer to the DeOxit I use on Amazon which cost me £7 (being flammable, it obviously can't be posted). If you own hardware synths, it's a good thing to have around anyway.
All the other rotary knobs and sliders work perfectly - one of the envelope sliders (sustain) feels a little scratchy but the data input slides perfectly, it's not a problem. The paint has peeled around one of the buttons (the track 1 button) as the photos show; but the buttons work fine. There are no missing pots.
The moulded ends often get cracked and go missing, as they're the only plastic bits - but these are intact and strong. A few scratches and dents but nothing huge."
