Thought it was interesting seeing the Sequential Circuits Inc. perfectly aligned in the shot as Sequential now makes the OB-X8 with Oberheim.

"This is a one owner Oberheim OB-8 with factory MIDI and Road Case (circa 1985/6) in good used condition. Purchased new from Swing City Music (St. Louis area). Road case needs new foam interior.

This OB-8 has not seen much playing since the early-90s and has lived in a climate controlled home studio environment since. Sounds Bad-Ass and Amazingly HUGE!!!

This belonged to my Uncle who is no longer with us. To the best of my knowledge it is all original. So, having it serviced is recommended due to the age of the capacitors, and components. Everything does seem to work and the only things worth mentioning are a couple red led lights on switches don't illuminate (switch does work), and one or two potentiometers should probably be replaced or rebuilt."
