According to the listing:
"I'm selling my beloved Grandmother Dark here. Built it myself during a stay in Asheville under the guidance of the wonderful production team at Moog. The Grandmother ran for maybe 20 minutes total. Since I also have a Matriarch, it was not used that often. Included is the original box, accessories, manual and a matching decksaver or the original Moog Dustcover."
The seller is derdona_75 w/ little feedback.
Curious how many people got to build their synth at Moog Music. Danz CM built a Minimoog there as featured in this video.
BTW, if you are skeptical of any listing on eBay or Reverb, be sure to adhere to their buyer and seller protection policies. You can find Reverb's here, and eBay's here.

Alesis A6 Andromeda 61-Key Polyphonic Analog Synthesizer w/ Custom Dust Cover

"According to my information, the serial number indicates a 2004 production.
If you’re looking at this, I probably don’t need to tell you the Andromeda is a true beast of a synthesizer. It has 16 voices of fully analog synthesis signal path, along a myriad of digital FX, 16-part multi-timbrality, and so much more.
Functionally, synth is in superb condition. All of the keys, knobs and buttons are tested and working with practically no issues. It’s not uncommon for Andromedas to have jumpy pots, and while going through each knob I did find two pots that experience some minor jumping, but it does not adversely affect operation. This may be remedied with contact cleaner but I’m leaving that choice up to the buyer.
Most importantly, no dead voices, all tune up properly.
Cosmetically the synth is also in excellent condition for its age, but does show some very minor wear and tear. For the most part, the synth looks relatively perfect if you aren’t inspecting it up close. The biggest flaw is some minor damage the right hand plastic end cap. Photo included.
The synth was professionally serviced by my technician in 2020 to resolve some volume output issues. The synth has a clean bill of health now.
Included with the synth are a power cable and custom leather dust cover by Stardust.
Additionally, I have a license for the only VST editor for the A6, which I’ll transfer to you after the sale."

"Classic one oscillator Korg MS-10. I love the way this synth sounds with its dirty filter also featured in the MS-20 Mk1. The synth has been used by Chemical Brothers, Autechre, Juan Atkins, etc. This unit is in very good condition with a few scuffs shown in photos."
