Good condition Emax! Various skiffs and scuffs here and there from 35+ years of faithful service. This Emax functions great: all the keys work, the sliders and mod wheels work, the display has been replaced with an OLED display and is much more readable, the power supply has been replaced with a modern one (much cooler), a Gotek drive is installed and replaces the floppy disk drive, and all of the ins and out work.

I am including a USB key that about 350 disks loaded on it, including the factory samples, third party samples, and some famous samples from an 80s band.

That said, this is an old keybaord. There are skiffs and skuffs on the unit. The potentiometers and digital sliders appear to be in great shape, but there might be some dust and crackles to chase after and clean out sometimes. The audio ins and outs are working without issue, but keep in mind this is a noisy sampler (relatively speaking, compared to 2025 standards). This is old technology, but old technology that sounds AMAZING. But, not noise-free as you might expect from an Elektron device.

Overall, this Emax is in really good shape, and the front panel looks great. A lot of Emaxes I see online, the front panel sticker is de-laminating and peeling off. This one is in super great shape. Take a look!

Please understand this is a well loved sampler from the 1980s."
