"14-bit Roland Jupiter 8 synthesizer built in May 1982 per serial number. Power is North America 117v. Condition is Excellent +++. I'm not someone who throws MINT around loosely. MINT implies that the instrument looks like it was just removed from the box. This might be the cleanest example on the market in quite a few years. Please examine the 22 high resolution photographs.

I have highlighted any imperfections in the pictures. They are small and require specific lighting to illustrate, therefor they're difficult to photograph.

This Jupiter 8 is functioning perfectly and scales across the keybed as it should. The power supply has been recapped to prevent leakage. Overall this instrument sounds bombastic and euphoric. There is nothing like being in the room with an authentic Jupiter 8.

Encore MIDI is cleanly installed and doesn't disrupt the rear panel. It adds 64 additional memory slots, and also allows for SysEx dumps to backup patches as well as MIDI control of the instrument as expected."
