"This listing is for a vintage ARP Odyssey mk1 that's not currently operational and is incomplete (though it should still be possible for someone with good DIY electronics skills to patch it out and turn it into an even more amazing synth than a stock odyssey - cv gate controllable, of course). Please take a close look at the photos.
The power cable has been cut off, so we haven't tested it so have no idea what functional state it may be in, though any 50 year old vintage Odyssey that hasnt been properly refurbished will need a full overhaul in order to work reliably, regardless of its starting condition. There's no keyboard or bottom piece, and the connector PCB that would normally go across the 3 modules is missing, so you’d need to either clone this board or hand wire things instead. The LFO rate fader is missing. VCO2 sample and hold depth fader shaft is broken off. Bender knob is missing. Power switch is missing. I could have omitted something, so check the pics! Regardless, this should be a fun restoration project for someone with good synth tech skills as this unit could be converted into a CV and gate controlled synthesizer module, and even modified with patchpoints like an ARP 2600, which is what we'd planned to do with it. Unfortunately, we just don't have the time. If it fails to sell, maybe we'll keep it for a rainy day. Sold strictly as-is with no guarantees, warranties, refunds whole or partial or returns. What you see is what you get."
