Mystery Circuits' Grateful Dead Emulator II Restoration

Published on May 6, 2019 mysterycircuits

Above are a couple of demos of an Emu Emulator II restored by Mystery Circuits. Is it the same one you see pictured left with Brent Mydland of The Grateful Dead? You can find a post covering some of the history and restoration of this Emulator II on Mystery Circuit's website here.

Update: I asked Mystery Circuits what the serial number was and he said it's hand written and faded, but appears to be SN 983.

"It comes with the increasingly difficult to find PG-200 programmer (Complete with the original documentation and case) which is essential for editing patches. It even comes with the original Roland music stand. Cosmetically a 9/10 - Light normal wear, a few scuffs on some of the upper keys. Functionally a 9.5/10 - Fully functional. Volume pot needs cleaning. Occasionally you get a little garble, but a slight shift of the volume knob seems to fix it immediately."
