"Superb Roland Juno 106s polysynth in really clean condition. The synth is identical in features/electronics/sound to the 106, with the only addition of a pair of speakers. These can be disabled (if need be) by inserting a jack plug into the headphone socket.

It's been recently serviced, which included:

-Removing the resin coating from the set of 6 chips and then reinstalling, fitting the chips into sockets.
-New memory battery fitted.
-Factory presets loaded.
-Clean/lube of switches and pots.
-New set of front panel tact switches installed.
-Filter calibration.
-New pair of speakers installed.

The synth is in excellent cosmetic condition, with only minor blemishes or marks."

I didn't realize GAKKEN went that far back. See the Gakken and SUIKO labels below for more. Not sure if that's a SUIKO in the first video above, but it looks like one.
