Pics of the inside below.

She ain’t gonna win any beauty contests, but she can kick your “I buy mint only” friends SH101’s butt any day.

Electronically perfect, cosmetically weird SH. It’s my fault…it was a UV-greened olive to brown gradient mess when I got it and I tried whitening the case and left it under UV lamps too long. You can see the original color on the battery door. While my process works wonders for keys and buttons, not so much for gray cases I guess. Oh well.

Despite the now quirky camo exterior, the electronics, rear case and keys are perfect. Power button is solid, no amount of wiggling and wobbling impacts anything. All functions were checked against another SH that I own (I’ve owned 4 and know them inside and out) and everything is spot on. All faders lubed with Deoxit F5, no crackles or jumps. There’s none of the dreaded battery leakage or other liquid damage present. It’s very clean, and as you’d expect sounds massive.

Properly matched PSU included."

"Excellent condition MC-202 with Tubbutec MC-2oh2 Hi-Rez upgrade. Even adds a cool 8-bit sampler /drum machine that can load 12 of your own samples via MIDI dump.

Professionally installed by Tubbutec authorized installer Borish Electronics, not a cheap job to have done at $500 labor due to complexity involved with tiny CPU removal and replacement + $400 for actual mod kit itself. Overlay can be removed easily if you prefer.

Comes with rare original bag, Roland/Boss power adapter, and manuals (in Japanese)."

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

via this eBay listing, also on Reverb

"ONE OF A KIND custom WHITE YAMAHA DX5 6-operator digital FM synthesizer.

This DX5 is not like any you are likely ever to have seen. It has been specially modified by Allen Coppock at Nashville's famous Synth Spa with a custom made white overlay, which retains the beautiful pastel colors that the factory DX5 uses, but how striking they look on a white background! It has special rosewood side panels and new negative display in place of the original---even the sharps and flats are not black but are that Yamaha brown that is the standard body color of the DX5 and DX7, and that matches the brown lettering on the control panel! In addition, the action has been gone over and the synth has been recapped. This DX5 also includes a pair of the amazing Hypersynth 705 cartridges. These alone cost $429.00 and are not even currently available, having been sold out.

Hypersynth 'Hcard-705' is a multibank cartridge pair for expanding the external memory of Yamaha DX5 and DX1.
