ARP 2500 Modular Analog Synthesizer for Sale
via weisma where you'll also find a 2600 and 1611 sequencer. "In the 1960s I was one of the pioneers of contemporary electronic music in the Netherlands. In the 1970’s, when the portable ARP 2600 synthesizer was created by ARP Instruments, Inc., I decided to start my private electronic music studio “Five Roses”, using the ARP 2600 for studio compositions as well as live electro-acoustic performances. At a later stage, when the modular ARP 2500 synthesizer was introduced, I expanded the capabilities my studio step by step.
The ARP synthesizers have been the center of my work for many years, but as electronic music became mainstream, my focus shifted to acoustic contemporary music. It is therefore that I have decided to put up my now classical ARP 2500 and 2600 synthesizers for sale for the collector, or for the musician that wishes to explore the unique sound of these landmark analog synthesizers."

RHEEM KEE BASS
via this auction
"This is a Vintage 1960's Rheem Kee Bass. It sounds absolutely great. These have been used for all kinds of music, including bands as old as The Doors and as new as Black Moth Super Rainbow. It has been fully tested and is in great working condition. All keys, buttons, bass booster, on/off, output, light, level adjust., fine tuning, latches and handle work as they should. Cosmetically, it is in very good condition except for a couple of cracks in the satin flame wrap above the keys (see photos). The original power cable is included. Huge monophonic bass sounds."
Korg Mono/Poly with Hardwood Maple Case
via this auction
"Customized and Fully Restored
All electrolytic capacitors replaced on all circuit boards
Key contacts, tactile button, and switches cleaned and restored
Key contacts raised 1mm for excellent sensitivity and improved action
All new custom solid hardwood maple case
Fully tuned and calibrated All circuits and systems are 100% functional and sound great!
This Korg Mono/Poly has been fully restored to its original condition and beyond! On the outside, the original particle board and veneer case has been replaced with a solid hardwood maple case. Cosmetically, this Mono/Poly is even better looking than a standard stock model in excellent condition.
Korg used low quality electrolytic capacitors that have a high failure rate after 20 years. Most Mono/Polys still have these original capacitors and they are very likely to cause problems like instability and failed systems. We’ve replaced all 57 electrolytic capacitors in the synth to guarantee that this one won’t see problems for a long time.
Another common problem with this model is that the key contacts lose their conductivity, which causes keys to stop triggering. All the key contacts have been cleaned and restored to full sensitivity. The key action has also been modified to improve the feel and sensitivity by raising the key contacts 1mm."

Skinny Puppy's Korg DDD-1 signed by cEvin Key?
via this auction
via the seller: "extremely valuable and rare item from my collection, a drum machine/sampler made by Korg and used by the band Skinny Puppy in the studio and to the best of my knowledge, also on stage. I purchased this gem directly from the band and my buddy at the time autographed it for me. So it is autographed by none other than Electronic Music Pioneer, Mr. cEvin Key of Skinny Puppy, Download, Doubting Thomas, etc, etc... The writing on the unit says, "To Raven With Love" "Cevin Key" and has the year "2001" signed on it...
The Korg DDD-1 was a monumental drum synth in it's day and is still highly regarded for it's sounds and sequencer. This particular unit has the sampler option built into it as well as two add-on cards: The DDC-E03 Snare Drum 1 and the DDC-D01 Cymbal cards. This machine not only sounds good, but it has had two owners, me being the second, so it is in extremely good condition. It is certain to provide years of drum programming for you and makes a great centerpiece in a studio."
