This one is in and for salve via peahix of optigan.com, who states it is a pretty early example of an all-chamberlin LP.

Oberheim Matrix 6 Analog Synthesizer

"Oberheim Matrix 6, analog 6-voice polyphonic synth. The panel overlay shows some damage on the '6' and '9' numbers (see photo), but this does not affect the operation of these buttons, and the keyboard is fully functional. Includes power cord. Please note that the Matrix 6 does not have a stereo output, despite the fact that there are two output jacks labeled Left and Right. These are NOT stereo outputs - they are for setting up keyboard splits with separate outputs, as described in the owner's manual. Unless you specifically have a split patch set up to feed the Right output, you will get no audio there."

Ensoniq EPS Digital Sampler

"Ensoniq EPS 13-bit digital sampling keyboard, with 4x memory expander (fully expanded). The photo of the display shows the fully expanded memory; it looks like characters are missing in the display, but this is an artifact of the photo (as a result of the display scanning) - the display works perfectly, and is not missing any characters. Includes 10 floppy disks, original printed manual, and power cord."

Alesis A6 Andromeda w/ Original Box
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"This A6 is in excellent cosmetic and functional shape (it still has the plastic on the LCD screen)
besides a little dust in the crevices it is basically mint cosmetically.
The ONE issue it has is that the main outputs are not balanced, one channel is considerably quieter. This can be adjusted with the balance on the synth or on your mixer, but the difference is enough that it should considered an ISSUE in functionality.
The head phones follow the same signal path and experience the same. The AUX output is not affected, but the signal path is different (I think the effects are bypassed in the aux signal path).
The synth was like this when I got it (the seller didn't bother to mention it) and it never got any worse, in other words it is stable. I bet an experienced tech might be able to fix this, but it was no issue for me, I just used my balance controls."

"It is in fairly good condition. Cosmetically, it has a few issues. Two of the knobs are missing, one of the corners of one of the end pieces is damaged, one of the corners on the front underside is slightly bent, there are some scratches on the back and bottom, and several of the knobs are about a millimeter higher than the others because the pots were replaced with new ones in early 2015 (this is hardly noticeable and makes no difference in playing). I have also noticed something loose (such as a small screw) rattling around inside the synth.
Functionally, the oscillator 2 pulse width potentiometer is a bit jumpy when moved, but it works once it is set. I have noticed a few other jumpy pots in the past, but not when I played and tested it recently over the past several days. Sometimes they smooth out with use. Also, I have occasionally experienced random menu jumping in the past (such as jumping from filter to envelope menu), but I did not notice it when I played it and tested it over the past several days. This is a fairly common A6 problem and could be due to bad pots or loose internal ribbon connectors, and it should be easily fixed if it crops up by replacing pots or resetting internal ribbon connectors.
Otherwise, everything works and all of the voices tune. Also included is a sustain pedal, power cord, and the original manual. In general, this synth isn't in the best shape and could use some work, but it is certainly playable as it is."
