"Here's your chance to own a piece of synth history in absolutely stunning condition: this Yamaha DX7IIFD is essentially FLAWLESS, and freshly serviced with new battery, high contrast LED screen, clean tact switches, restored keybed, and custom “quieting" treatment in the chassis to dampen keybed noise (this doesn't affect the action at all - it's just a layer of dampening material on the bottom interior of the chassis to cut down the noise). One technical note: the new LED screen controller has a quirk with these machines, where certain button combinations will make it go temporarily blank, or only show one line; this is normal! To get around it, you simply hit the Edit button then revert to one of the play modes (Single, Dual, Split). It’s worth this “quirk” to have a modern, reliable and gorgeous screen that will last another 4 decades ;-)
The floppy drive is working mechanically, but I can’t verify read/write operation as I don’t have any DS/DD disks; I can’t imagine using them today as SysEx dumps and cartridges are far easier and quicker to use!
Also includes a RAM4 cartridge with new battery, loaded with top notch DX sounds (all the iconic stuff), the collectible Yamaha hard case with DXII logo, a handful of Japanese documentation and brochures, and original music stand. I used many of the included sounds to create my virtual instrument series called "DX Dreams" - see the linked video for some examples.
You won't find a better, cleaner DX7IIFD anywhere on the planet. This is as close as it gets to opening a new one in 1987 - it even *smells* new when you open the case! Note this is a 100v Japanese version which works on U.S. 117v power, but I'd recommend a voltage transformer (about $30 on Amazon - I can provide a link).
Expertly packed and shipped fully insured within continental U.S. only, or free pickup/delivery in the Nashville, TN area."
