"This is certainly one of the best, if not the best sounding synth I have ever owned, but I just put a lot of money into getting it back in tip top shape and decided its time to modernize my gear.

This P5 has been worked on by DFX and Analog Lab:

Analog Lab:

Replaced main ribbon cable

Key contacts cleaned and adjusted

Reseated power connectors

Smoothing caps replaced and repaired

DFX:

New power cable installed

New pots installed where needed

Wood side panel repair

Decoupling capacitors replaced

So...

There it is, quite a bit of work to get this thing back on line and now its set for years of use. All voice chips are in great shape too, which is probably the most important part of the entire synth since those are practically irreplaceable. While I have enjoyed having such a neat piece of gear around, the costs to repair it caught up to me and I think it belongs with someone who can continue to take care of it, whether that means having a good tech of their own or being able to do maintenance themselves when it needs it.

As for now, it is in tech certified working condition!"
