"The Juno 106s model is identical to the 106 with the added flexibility of a set of speakers to allow it to be played without a separate amplifier/mixer set up. The speakers can be disabled by inserting a 1/4" jack plug into the headphones socket on the back panel..."

" 100% functioning

Includes Bound Users Manual
Ribbon Cables restored
Key contacts cleaned
All polarized and non-polarized capacitors replaced

Velocity sensitive keyboard, onboard sequencer, 12 analog VCO's, 6 voices, 12 banks of sounds.
All circuits and systems are 100% functional and sound great!

For sale is a Chroma Polaris II that has been restored by us. These synths often come with problems involving the membrane switches not working and erratic behavior caused by failing capacitors. We have replaced over 200 capacitors in this machine and rebuilt the power supply. The synth has been calibrated and loaded with the factory presets. Don't spend too much money for a Polaris that hasn't been serviced. This Polaris II sounds, looks, and plays great!"

"Can’t guarantee it, but I think it was owned and used by the guy who played with “The Flock”, which was a hot Chicago band from the era that spawned Buckinghams, Cryan Shames, Association, etc. I can say that the lettering was on the case when I bought it..."

I did a quick search on YouTube to see if I could find any videos of The Flock featuring the Arp Odyssey, but couldn't find one.

"This is in great overall condition. All buttons, faders and keys function correctly and it sounds superb. The condition of the wooden casing is obviously worn, but in line with its age. I think this is classed as the Mk 2 version - still the sought after mono outputs, but also trigger and gate outputs."

Moog Source Synthesizer SN 3384

"second owner of this amazing board. Works perfect. Zero glitches. No dead notes. No membrane panel issues ever. AGAIN.. OVERALL THIS BOARD WORKS PERFECT. Cosmetically in good-very good shape. Kept in smoke free studio. Comes with original owners manual and schematic chart.

'In addition to the memory capable of holding 16 presets, the Source features a 37-note keyboard, and two VCOs that can be selected among three waveforms and three octaves. Programmed presets can be saved to an audio cassette interface to free up the onboard memory for additional new patches. The 24dB/octave VCF has parameters for keyboard tracking, cutoff frequency, resonance, and envelope amount. There are two ADSR envelope generators that can be set in single or multi trigger modes, one for the VCF and one for the VCA. For modulation, the Source features LFO and sample and hold. The unit also features a rudimentary sequencer.'" via wikipedia

"Both the oscillators and the filter on this synth are totally discrete. To my ear the oscillators are noticeably wider and richer than analogues with integrated circuits. I owned the ATC-1 and the Minimoog Voyager rack at the same time, and when I needed to scale back the Voyager went... The synth has an externalimput so you can run audio through the filter, as well the control voltage outs allows the ATC to control your other analogue gear through midi."

Moog Memorymoog Plus Synthesizer

"This is the Memorymoog Plus. It is in outstanding condition as you can see in the photos, everything is there and works perfectly, all factory updates have been performed, and the software is the latest available version. Internally, this is a special unit, with numerous upgrades, to make this an extremely stable and reliable synth. I've tried to list the most important upgrades below.

1. Fully recapped. All electrolytic capacitors have been replaced with high quality modern components. This is critical to avoid killing the expensive CEM chips on board.

2. All ribbon cables and connectors have been upgraded to gold plated. This sounds excessive, but the originals are cheap and notoriously unreliable and highly prone to oxidation. When these were new, stage musicians would have 2-3 units onstage, because of those sketchy connectors.

3. Most of the IC sockets have been replaced with gold plated machined sockets. This is an expensive prospect but well worth the added stability of the analog circuitry.

4. Almost all of the analog IC chips have been replaced with newly manufactured chips, with the exception of the CEM and 3080 chips, which are no longer manufactured. The new smaller die sizes of these chips and increased reliability, has the added benefit of keeping the internals cooler, and hence tuning stability is simply amazing.

5. The internal fan has been replaced with a high volume, quiet computer-style fan, a vast improvement from the original noisy fans, that mostly circulated hot air around the inside, rather than expelling it.

6. The synth has factory MIDI, built in sequencer, and is fully calibrated, tuned, and with a new battery which should last for decades."
