"I'd never given this late 90s digital synth a moment's thought until playing this one. It's actually a great source of very playable and in some cases excellent sounds. This example is in very good condition indeed, with its original UK external PSU. It also has its original user manual, which has got damp at some stage and is in far worse condition. Packing 12GBP."

Korg PS-3200 (1978) - Professionally Restored Full System

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

via this Reverb listing

"Korg PS-3200 - A fully configured system that's been fully cosmetically and operationally restored.

One of the finest fully configured surviving examples of Korg’s iconic PS-3200 — a true masterpiece of 1970s analogue engineering, fully restored for the modern collector.

Servicing Status

KSR has undertaken an extensive cosmetic and operational restoration of this PS-3200, a project spanning several years but largely completed by the end of 2024 — thanks to the exceptional work of Kent Spong of KSR. The Korg has been held in our secure facility throughout 2025, so post-sale, we will have the instrument and all accessories fully checked before shipping or delivering to the new owner. This process will add approximately 10 to 14 days to the post-sale completion time.

Remarks

We have decided to offer for sale our complete Korg PS-3200 System, which forms part of the RL Music Vintage Synthesizer Collection. Over the last 22 years, we’ve retained a small number of the finest vintage synthesizers to pass through our hands — instruments we found particularly inspiring or significant. This PS-3200 is one such example and has been the subject of a full and detailed cosmetic and operational restoration by our trusted vintage synth technician, Kent Spong of KSR.

It is generally accepted that Korg produced only around 200 units of the PS-3200, although the exact number is difficult to verify. Whether 100 or 500 were made, production was certainly very limited, making this an exceptionally rare, hand-built instrument by any measure.

Due to the rarity and individual nature of instruments like this, we’ve taken great care to provide a comprehensive and honest description of this PS-3200. We encourage any prospective buyer to ensure they have all the information needed to make an informed purchase decision — and of course, we are happy to answer any questions directly.

Provenance

We purchased this PS-3200 from a UK seller (an experienced user) in 2015 and collected it personally from their studio in the South of England. At the time, the instrument was fully working but had not been professionally serviced, so we decided to retain it within our PS-series collection — completing the full lineup — and plan its restoration later.

The overall condition was original and very good but showing signs of cosmetic age typical for a 35+-year-old synthesizer. We therefore elected to undertake a full operational and cosmetic restoration. While the market for highly restored vintage synths has cooled in recent years — as values for unrestored examples have climbed — our motivation for this restoration was personal rather than commercial, as the PS-3200 has always been part of our private collection.

System Configuration

PS-3200 Main Frame
PS-3010 Keyboard Controller
PS-3001 Interconnect Cable
PS-3030 Remote
PS-3001 Interconnect Cable (second)
PS-3040 Dual Pedal
Kenton MIDI Retrofit Kit fitted
This particular PS-3200 includes the extremely rare PS-3030 Remote, a unique device allowing live performers access to the patch memories — a groundbreaking feature for 1978.

Korg Lambda (ES50) SN 233791

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

via this Vemia listing

Click the auction link on top when you get there for additional listings.

"A really lovely old synth, with character you don't get with anything more modern. What you do get is a large chunk of the Korg PS-3x00 series at a tiny fraction of the price. Cosmetically it shows signs of its 40 to 45 years' life, with three of the undersides of the keys having chips out of them, and the back and sides of the wooden case looking tatty in places. But when you're playing it, it looks and feels great - any little marks on the top panel could probably be polished out by someone who knew what they were doing. Working wise it's fantastic. One tiny issue is that the Ensemble button doesn't make an audible/tactile 'click' like the Percussive switch does. But it works fine, and all controls work well and all voices sound great. They seriously don't make synths like this any more. UK voltage with a UK plug - easily changed for Europe or Australia etc.. Packing at VEMIA 24GBP."

ELI CompuRhythm CR-7030

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

Playlist:

1. ELI CR-7030 Beat Box Analog Drum Machine Demo by Daniel’s Electronics

This is supposedly a clone of the Roland CR-78, however functionally it is closer to the CR-68. It has no programming ability and the sounds, while good, are not as varied as the CR-78. The demo includes some slight reverb effect.

2. ELI CR-7030 Drum machine Beatbox demo by Momtnz

Rare ELI CR-7030 CompuRhythm drum machine. This unit was also badged as a Gemini and Ness unit. The CR-7030 and nearly three hundred other preset pattern drum machines can be found in the recently released book RHYTHM MACHINES, out now on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk.

(AUG 2018) RHYTHM MACHINES 2 - The 1980s Drum Computers is released! Written by Alex Graham. The most comprehensive book on 1980s Programmable drum machines out there, over 200 fact filled ALL COLOUR pages...Available only on AMAZON.COM and AMAZON.CO.UK.

Rhythm machines – the precursor to what we in the modern age refer to as a drum machine. This book documents the emergence of the preset pattern electronic rhythm instruments that (for a time) were used as a viable alternative to the drummer. Contained within are the Rhythmates, Rhythm Aces, Rhythm Boxes, Rhythmers, Rhythm Kings, Rhythm Masters, Donca Matics, Mini Pops and many more. Nearly three hundred rhythm instruments are documented here, with over two hundred pictures and information provided on their country of origin, instrument sounds, patterns and features. The book is a ‘must have’ for collectors, vintage instrument enthusiasts and recording artists.

For information on purchasing this unique book, follow the link here:

Rhythm Machines: The rise and fall of the presets

(Jan 2018) Also available, the newly released book RHYTHM MACHINES III (3) - From Decline To Retro Designs by author ALEX GRAHAM, now found on Amazon.com (USD$26.95) and Amazon.co.uk (19.95 GBP). The book has 150 full colour pages and covers information (with photographs) on all commercially released drum machines released from 1990-2017, featuring Akai, Korg, MFB, Jomox, Elektron, Roland, Zoom, Yamaha and many others including Cheetah, Arturia and Dave Smith Electronics/Linn etc.

Rhythm Machines III: From Decline To Retro Designs

3. ELI Compu Rhythm drum machine quick demo by Momtnz

"ELI CR-7030 Compu Rhythm demonstration. Preset box clearly modelled on the Roland CR-68/78 but manufactured shortly afterwards in Taiwan. Good to see an adjustable power option 110/240v selecter fitted. Has an interesting 'Rolling' feature that provides a fill-in pattern to break up the monotony of the preset patterns. In truth there are only three or four patterns that are that great and useable (Rock, Disco etc.). And the ''Guiro' field full of crickets sound is annoying to most but is easy to cancel out. For more information on rhythm boxes why not check out either the all-colour Rhythm Machines book by Alex Graham [links above], or the black and white (cheaper) version called Drumfax 1. Both are available on most Amazon sites."

via this Reverb listing

"Very rare vintage analog drum machine from the late 70’s it has a very similar sound to the CR line of drum machines from Roland, very good condition for its age minimal scuff marks and scratches around the case. Everything seems to be functioning as it should, volume knob and balance knob are a bit scratchy I’m sure it can benefit from a good cleaning.

Believed to be the first unit to use the term 'Beatbox' and"Compurhythm'-little info on this unit can be found but either ELI copied Roland or vice versa."

Korg Wavestation A/D

via this VEMIA listing

Click the auction link on top when you get there for additional listings.

"Korg's most powerful Wavestation, with Prophet VS-style vector sequencing and the ability to input stereo audio for genuine vocoding and many other effects. Serial number 300317. This has some scuffs around the data slots and, strangely, Contrast knob - and doesn't have rack ears. But otherwise it is excellent cosmetically. It's such a powerful machine that to get the most out of it, having access to the manual is pretty useful. We've printed out the 340-page (!) Korg Performance Note, included. (If that's a note, I'd hate to have to lift the full manual....) The display is perfectly readable, but in a few years' time you might want to go for one of the several smart replacements available. UK/Euro voltage, with a UK or Euro mains lead. Packing 12GBP."
