"The ARP 2600 rev G
I first acquired this around 1992. It was the original electronic music lab synthesizer for the creative and performing arts high school I attended in the early 80s. I used to screw around with the sample and hold and make the thing go crazy, as I had no idea of what I was doing. I sent it to CMS (then located in Eastern Pennsylvania) and had some repairs and mods done. From what I remember, that included putting in a standard IEC AC jack, upgrade of the power supply, VCA and VCF and I honestly don’t remember what else. In the last few years it’s been maintained by the esteemed techs of Pittsburgh Modular and given a clean bill of health last month. In addition, this package includes the rare 3620 keyboard. It’s 95% perfect with 2 keys a little out of whack and the portamento not functioning properly. I recorded a video where I go up and down the keyboard and demonstrate. The keyboard issues would best be tackled by someone qualified getting into the thing and doing some additional cleaning. The only other issues are 1 broken latch (pictured) on the synth, some scuffs and small dings and stains on the tolex and 1 non original slider cap on the preamp. This 2600 sounds amazing and has been used on a ton of projects, but it’s time to pass this on to someone else’s hands. This is a classic and a real beauty, the circuit boards alone are works of art! Because of the high ticket nature of this item, I’d encourage you to reach out with any questions you may have. Packing and shipping via UPS will be handled by Pittsburgh Modular with full insurance, so you can be assured of safe and secure passage. I would consider overseas shipping, but we'll need to talk about that, as it could be pretty pricey."
