This is a follow-up to the SEM, MS20, and SH-101 notepad posts. Someone in the comments of the recent SEM post mentioned they were available with a ton of other items in their Etsy shop. Note they do have some gear listed on eBay as well, so check it out of interested. Etsy only allows craft items.
Pictured here are the EMS SYNTHI sticky notes, synth keychains and Roland 808, 909, 303, and 606 inspired erasers and card holders. As always, saving this stuff as a record of what was out there at the time...

"We meticulously refurbished this 2600 in an attempt to future proof it and to make it better than others you may find. This included the following work:
Replaced all faders and slider caps with brand new ones, so all faders work great, with no crackle at all (our cost for these parts was nearly $500)
Rebuilt power supply in an attempt to greatly extend its life.
Replaced synth section handle with similar one.
Replaced tantalum caps as a preventative measure to greatly extend this units life.
Replaced reverb tank rubber bushings.
Replaced rubber bushings in keyboard.
Cleaned keyboard J-wires and bus bars.
Resoldered feet of all modules.
Replaced Cinch Jones connector.
Replaced 3 4027-1 and 1 4015 submodules with our tech's exact replicas so future repairs will be possible (the originals are sealed and cannot be opened for servicing).
Corrected mistakes made at the factory (a couple connections were never soldered!)
The tolex was a bit chewed up along the edges, so we used a black marker to color the wood where it was showing. Replacing the tolex is possible but we're unfortunately not set up to do that here, so we will leave that decision up to the buyer.
Lengthy burn in test, systematically tested multiple times and working perfectly.
...and more.
This work required a total of 30 hours of skilled labor.
The synth section comes with a lid, though it appears to have come from a later 2600 as the tolex does not match. The keyboard section comes without a lid. Sale includes power cord and new Cinch Jones keyboard connector cable."

SEQUENTIAL CIRCUITS PROPHET VS Vector Synthesizer SN 0622

"This unit has been fully refurbished and is working perfectly. It was disassembled and cleaned inside and out. A couple minor repairs were performed. The aftertouch has been tested and is working well. We want our items to hopefully continue to work well long into the future, so we paid our tech to do some preventative work in an effort to future-proof this VS. All tact switches were replaced with new ones and work flawlessly, as they seldom do these days. Although the original display was working well, we replaced it with a much better and way brighter brand new one that can easily be seen in the dark. The battery still held the onboard memory, but we replaced it anyway so its next owner shouldn't have to worry about it dying anytime soon. We also reloaded the factory patches. The power capacitors have been replaced, which is something we normally do with synths of this age. This VS is better than most other VS's you'll find and is being sold by perfectionists. One thing we should mention for those as critical as we are is that the data slider wobbles ever so slightly when moved, but there's nothing wrong with it - is in fine working order. This VS should make its next owner very happy. It's a real pleasure to play!"

"This unit has been METICULOUSLY REFURBISHED and FUTURE-PROOFED.
The stock OBX has poor tuning, so we modify them to improve their tuning and make them playable.
This treatment requires approximately 60 hours of skilled labor, and our pricing naturally reflects this.
This OB is for the discriminating electronic musician who simply wants the best.
This unit is working perfectly and sounds like nothing else."

ROLAND JUPITER-6 Analog Keyboard Synthesizer SN 311707

via this auction, also on Reverb
"Like nearly all the high end vintage analog synths we sell, this item has been METICULOUSLY disassembled, cleaned inside and out, FULLY serviced by professionals who’ve been servicing and selling vintage synths for more than the last 2 decades, and systematically tested multiple times over a long period to ensure it’s working exactly as it should. No BS. No ebay surprises. We’re perfectionists and don’t cut corners. Although this instrument came to us in relatively good shape, we want our items to be better than the rest and invested *many* hours of tech time plus parts costs to fully overhaul this unit so it would be clean, working like new again and as reliable as possible for its next owner. This was a serious investment of time, love, and money, and was definitely worth the effort and is of course reflected in the higher than usual price. If you’re looking for a great sounding example of this model that works just like it should without needing to invest hundreds or thousands of dollars in tech fees and waiting from weeks to years, this one should make you very happy.
DETAILS: we paid our tech for 20 hours of skilled labor to not only fully refurbish this unit but also to future-proof it, so it hopefully wont need any work done to it for a long time. Power supply recapped and rebuilt, all pots replaced with new ones, replaced voice card caps, cleaned inside and out, cleaned key contacts and bus bar, replaced battery and reloaded patches, etc. This is costly work that makes our JP6 much better and more valuable than others you may find. Ebay limits the number of photos to 12. There are more on our website."
