"Here is a restored Korg PS-3200 & his associated PS-3010 Keyboard module .
The 60 pin Honda keyboard cable is also included in the sale
This unit was fully serviced / restored at our workshop in Paris, and is of course 100% funcitonal.
It used to belong to Jean-Michel Jarre and was a backup unit for his first concert in 1979, place de la Concorde in Paris.
The PS-3200 was sold to an individual shortly after, and kept ever at his home since .
There are a few rare scuffs / scratch on the serigraphy and on front panel paint, but the overall cosmetical condition is excellent considering the age and the original condition of the unit when it arrived here .
The wooden cabinets were in a very poor condition before ( corners dammaged, veeneer poorly stripped , poorly painted in black, then re-stripped...) they were refinished for the sale .
A midi kit was installed at some point, but it was non working & the installation quite messy, so we decided to remove everything & restore it to factory condition, the (disconnected) midi plug is still here on the front panel, bottom right corner.
Please note that one of the 2 locking tabs of the Honda 60 pin cable ( one for each end ) is non functional : the tab stays in the locked position when not pressed, so you'll have to continually press if you want to remove or insert the cable ( which, to be honest, shouldn't happen a lot !) .
It doesn't affect the working condition of the cable in any way .
