"Just got back from serviced from Allen of Synthspa, invocHere what was done : General repair for the circuit boards. New battery in CPU, update panel board with 4052’s, and refresh solder joints. Install pins on voice chips for easy replacement, install sockets for easy removal.
All the sliders pots are new. vca/vcf/vco chips are also new. One slider cap is missing. Power cord included.
Synthspa loaded their 'soup-up' J106 Sounds on their board. We can load the original factory sounds if you prefer
NOTE: The top foam of the SKB case needs to be pulled out in order to close the case. I’m also selling the 106 without case on a separate listing."
"Custom, One of a kind Roland Juno 106 from SynthSpa, Modified to a 37 key version, custom finish in white with wood ends, has been fully serviced and has had the Kiwi mod added"
"Fully rebuilt vintage Roland Juno 106. This was custom-restored by Synthspa with a white finish, white lights, glowing white bender, and white buttons. I was told the voice chips have all been replaced with new clones too but have not ever looked inside to verify; I can check on request. The tone is clean and gorgeous and the analog chorus is smooth as butter; it works great. Has an added upgrade circuit of white lights on the side that show which voice chips are currently active (enabled with the toggle switch on right)."
"Fully customized finish by 'synth spa' white on blue Juno 106.
All voice chips and internals work perfectly. Some blue LED’s have burned out (mainly the 16” 8” octave leds but the buttons still work).
Pitch bender needs new spring. But otherwise works perfectly."

"Original synth pop composition written and recorded by Ronnie Augeri on a fully
overhauled Juno 106, featuring a stunning custom red livery. This synth has had
endless hours of excruciating detail put into it, and is currently for sale. [listed here]
Shoutout and thanks to my friend Allen over at synthspa for putting together
this beautiful red enclosure and overlay for me! https://synthspa.com/ Big
thanks to my friend Dom for mixing and mastering this track on such short notice
and doing an awesome job. Check him out! https://dominicdelore.com/"
"Completely overhauled Roland Juno 106 in a custom red livery. Synth is as close to brand new as you can get. This is not your average restoration and has countless hours of excruciating detail put into it.
The power supply was fully rebuilt with 5000 hour Nichicon caps, all electrolytic and ceramic caps replaced along with the voltage regulators and dual regulator controller.
I originally tried new replacement sliders and although they worked perfect, I was not impressed with the tactile feel. As a result, all 17 original ALPS sliders were completely disassembled, thoroughly cleaned, lubricated with quality silicone grease and reassembled. They have an incredibly smooth and firm feel. The panel board also features 34 new tactile switches, and 3 new alps 2 position slide switches. The 3 mini sliders on the bender board were also disassembled, cleaned, and lubricated.
Every board was stripped, thoroughly degreased, and washed. They have a glossy sheen appearance like they would from the factory.
All 6 voice chips are original and have had the conformal coating stripped. Each voice chip was completely reflowed and installed on pin headers for easy removal or swapping. The synth was burn-in tested for 8 hour periods on several different days, absolutely no issues.
CPU board has new battery installed.
The entire keybed assembly has been completely stripped. Every single key was hand washed/degreased and polished. The keys are the whitest I have seen, this board appears to have very little use and was kept away from the sun. All rubber dome contacts despite working, were removed, and thoroughly cleaned. The carbon tracks on the keyboard assembly were also cleaned. This is a future proofing process which will insure several more decades of reliable note triggering.
A 3 prong standard IEC receptacle has been installed and a quality brand new power cable is included. All solder joints have been inspected and common control areas have been reflowed. All potentiometers have been cleaned.
Full calibration performed, no crackle in the chorus!
The synth is 100% functional and is in perfect cosmetic and electronic condition."
"This Synth has been modified by SynthSpa. Allen did a fantastic job and replaced from plastic to wooden side panels, blues LED’s, blues LED screen, light up pitch bender, poly meter and replaced the original 2 prong power supply input with a 3 prong. Keyboard comes with a beautiful SKB hard case and X stand."
"Roland Juno 106 analog synthesizer in EXCELLENT condition, recently serviced and restored by Allen at Synthspa with the "DeLorean" modification package, including polyphony meter and "blue meanie" LED lights. Listing includes power cable and synth-sock (cover); the stand is not included."

personal Roland Juno-106 with BLUE LEDs, SUPER SAW MOD & 6 working voices!
I JUST got this from SynthSpa TWO DAYS AGO & I already have to sell it.
So here is a very special ONE OF A KIND JUNO-106 with a SAW wave for SUB.
It gives it almost the SUPER SAW sound when making trance string & pad sounds...
Unique for sure! It has BLUE LEDs, 6 fresh new voice chips, new battery,
3 prong power supply instead of the old school 2 prong one.
It has some surface scratches, dings & other marks but nothing bad,
please see pics closely to see it's physical conditon.
I am sad to only have it a few days but it seems I am little short this month.
My loss is your gain! Comes with JUNO-106 & power supply.
NO RETURNS or REFUNDS! It's 2 days old from SynthSpa! Thanks!"
"Here's a Roland Red Junior 106 that we made this month. It's exactly like a Juno 106 but smaller and more compact. The outside is totally new and perfect. The inside has received the standard 'Full survival restoration' and is set to last a decade or more. Every circuit board was restored and all the standard issues of the 106 were addressed. Voice chips are excellent with the SynthSpa guarantee ! It also has a copy of the best of the best sounds installed for peak inspiration."

"The keyboard is in near MINT condition both cosmetically and functionally and comes in the Original Roland factory box with packing. This synthesizer was fully serviced by SynthSpa where they either restored or replaced all the voice chips and waveform chips. This is an absolutely necessary service when owning this model Juno. The service also included replacing the AC jack with a 3 prong outlet, replaced the old battery with user replaceable batteries, reloading of all the factory programs, replaced any intermittent switches, and a full cleaning of all slider controls, pots and switches. This synthesizer looks as good as it sounds with no noticeable scratches, all switches intact with no missing slide caps, and all keys in perfect condition with no chips or scratches. This is the 117V U.S version keyboard. Included with this great synthesizer is the AC power cord, Original owners manual, Midi manual, a CD with additional program patches and files all packed in the Original Roland Factory box.."
