"By now, everyone knows the sound of the Juno-60. From the mixable Sawtooth and Square wave shapes on the Oscillator, all the way through to lush stereo chorus at the end of the signal chain. Junos may not be the most complex synthesizers out there but they are almost impossible to get a bad sound out of. Basses, pads, leads, arpeggios, it can do it all. It may not have MIDI like its younger sibling the 106, but the Arpeggiator Sync Input should not be over looked for creating interesting rhythmic patterns.
There is some light overall cosmetic wear mostly in the form of light blemishes throughout. Please see the detailed images. Everything is working great and sounds awesome as usual, here is a list of it's recent service:
-Replaced ALL electrolytic caps on all PCBs
-Disassembled and cleaned all tact switches and polished contacts
-Removed, disassembled and cleaned all faders
-Resoldered all pin headers and cleaned contact points
-Refurbished power supply: replaced filter caps and resoldered all components!
-Replaced AC cable
-Replaced bender arm, bender plate and rubber stop bushing
-New memory battery and reloaded original factory presets
-New dust covers on panel pcb and in bender assembly
-Refurbished panel pcb by resoldering faders and switches, replaced electrolytic caps on panel boards
-Cleaned key contacts and all other moving parts"

"THE BAD NEWS:
1) The handle on the bender is broken off. It is still fully functional and easy to use even without the handle. Sorry.
2) The left speaker doesn't kick in unless you turn the volume past the very lowest level. Otherwise, both speakers play fine and are crackle-free so I'm guessing this could be solved with minor cleaning/maintenance. I didn't want to attempt it and potentially mess something else up in the process. The cabinet has never been opened and it's innards have never been messed with.
3) There are only a few minor cosmetic issues. For most I had to work a bit to find the right light and angle so they'd show up in the images at all. The worst scratch is on the bottom and it is minor. There is also a tiny scratch on the top above 'chorus', another [almost completely imperceptible] one above the 'noise' slider, and a rough edge on the front lip of a white key in the top octave. Check the pictures if you're concerned. Overall this thing is in really good condition.

THE GOOD NEWS:
APPEARANCE: Fantastic overall cosmetic condition. It has been well cared for and properly stored in dry, smoke-free, heated / air conditioned spaces. It looks great.
FUNCTION: It works like new. Other than the items listed above, all knobs, buttons, keys, etc are in place, and fully functional. No weird quirks.
PURITY: Every single knob, button, circuit, cord, wire, etc. is original and untouched. And it still works. And it sounds great.
LOVE: I am the first and only owner of this thing since it was purchased new in the 80s. It didn't spend a year or two in a garage or on a flea market table or in a thrift store. It hasn't been on tour. It hasn't been used much at all. It deserves a more exciting future.
COOL: Sorry, but this thing is just plain cool. Looks cool. Sounds cool.
SAFE and HEALTHY: The item is currently not vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2 but is guaranteed 100% free of COVID-19, seasonal flu, the common cold, and all other deadly and/or bothersome transmissible diseases and/or unfortunate maladies. I cannot attest to the current state of its mental health. It's been quite alone for far too long.
EXTRA: You'll get the original power cord, removable music stand, two pedals, and owner's manuals.
EXTRA EXTRA: You'll also get Roland's 1985 third edition Guidebook for MIDI: Which Greatly Expands Potential of Musical Composition. This winning piece features such enlightening zingers as, "MIDI employs digital signals. That is, MIDI instruments can be set up with a computer" and "MIDI has opened a new way for electronic musical instruments." It ends on a tantalizing note with, "The future of MIDI is full of possibilities not only in the musical field, but also in other fields." Get ready to LEARN!"
