"Includes a boatload of floppies and the Virostek/Straylight board, uninstalled."

You can find some info on Tom Virostek's Straylight upgrade here [Update: link fixed]. Straylight also makes CEM 5530 clones used the in the Sequential Circuits Prophet-VS (referenced here and here) and a memory upgrade for the Prophet-3000. This is the first post to mention the DSS-1 Straylight board. I created a new Straylight site label for mentions moving forward.

Sequential Circuits Prophet VS SN 0391 Serviced with Upgrades

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

Pics of the inside below.

"Important upgrades are as follows.

The display was upgraded to OLED.

All push buttons were replaced within the past year.

The original aftertouch system was upgraded to utilize the common Fatar pressure sensor installed underneath the actual keys in place of the felt so when you depress the key it engages the aftertouch very easily. The entire keybed was disassembled and cleaned during the process.

The failure prone CEM 5530 chips have been replaced with very reliable clones from Straylight engineering."

Sequential Circuits Prophet 3000 SN 0087 with Huge Sample Library

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

" Up for auction is a SCI Prophet 3000. These samplers filters are analog and sound amazing with there Curtis CEM chips same as Prophet 5 they are very warm and smooth and sound nothing like more recent digital filters and miles ahead of software samplers. There were only three 16 bit samplers that had analog filters to my knowledge The CMI Fairlight the EMU Emulator 3 and the SCI Prophet 3000. They all eventually replaced the analog filters with digital ones in later models and the sound was never the same.

This unit is in excellent condition both function wise and cosmetics. It was just serviced this week by Tom Virostek of Straylight Engineering. Tom replaced Several caps on Power Supply and main board. Also added more robust voltage regulators. Everything works as it should. Very shortly Tom will be offering a very nice memory upgrade for the 3000 check out the website for more details. A very nice guy by the way who does great work. I am also including a very large library over 120 disks of some great samples from Mini Moogs to Pianos The only thing Ive found is that sometimes floppy disks need to reinserted into the Floppy drive as they don't read properly. The Prophet also has most parts still available through Wine Country in Northern CA

The Prophet 3000 sounds truly awesome and in my opinion is a sleeper of a classic"
