Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 Rev. 3.3

via this auction

"Up for bid is this classic Prophet 5 and case. By far the most stable and dependable of all the Prophet 5 revisions, the Rev. 3.3 came loaded with 120 factory programs, all of which can be edited and saved by the user. These units can also be upgraded to MIDI compatibility, though this one has not been upgraded. I bought the instrument and the case new in ’82 or ’83 but haven’t been able to use it for the past 12 years or so. I hate to see it go, but at this point I think it’s best to pass it on to someone who will put it to its intended use.

Electronics: It just got a complete overhaul. I shipped it off to the highly-regarded Prophet guru at Analog Synth Service in Oakland, CA (not Wine Country). He brought it all back up to factory specs, including the replacement of a control VCA (CA3280) and a voltage controlled filter (CEM3320). He also scaled the DAC, the oscillators, the filters, and reloaded the original 120 factory programs into the main and expansion RAM.

The unit also got all new electrolytic and tantalum capacitors (including the filter caps on the power supply), a new 3-volt memory battery, one new potentiometer, and all the pots and switches were cleaned. The key bed itself was completely disassembled and cleaned, new key bushings were installed, and the metal comb prongs that the keys mount to were leveled. All the key contacts were cleaned and adjusted as well, so there is no misfiring or 'spitting' at all."

GDAL Synthesizer R1

YouTube Published on Apr 24, 2012 by JingleJoe

"This is practically done now... holy fhtagn, I have made a synthesizer O_O.
I haven't checked to see how in tune it is, but I wired the keyboard up properly now and it was in tune enough that things I played sounded like they were supposed to.
Unfortunately it's already starting to make worrying crackles and "failure imminent" kind of noises so I made this video with haste, thus, I didn't really know what to play so I just improvized a bit and played some old video game tunes :)"
