URSA MAJOR SST-282 SPACE STATION + KORG POLYSIX
video upload by Synth Tailor Electronics
"Here’s a URSA MAJOR SPACE STATION SST-282 that was just restored here at the shop. These sound so amazing and I hope I find one for my studio someday. They’re like having a Roland space echo without the tape/noise and sound incredible!
When it arrived, it wasn’t outputting any delay/reverb signals at all.
Repairs done:
-Found 3 blown Tantalum caps, replaced with new Tantalum caps.
-Rebuilt PSU (had leaking Filter capacitors)
-Replaced stuck/broken Power Switch
-Replaced all bad electrolytic capacitors and tantalum’s throughout.
-Replaced a bad RED square LED
-Replaced faulty/old ribbon connector and installed a machined 16 dip socket"

"Original ARP Odyssey MKIII (2821) duophonic synthesiser, with full custom metal flight-case, and Kenton installed MIDI retrofit. Orange-on-black colour scheme. The Mk III features the four-pole '4075' filter, unbalanced XLR output, and PPC buttons. Some of the sliders are a little scratchy, but will use dry film lubricant to clean those up. Amazing cosmetic condition for age - faceplate easily a 9/10, no serious no dinks or chipped keys. That said, the leather sides are scratched in places, as you might expect for her age, but look more prevalent in the pics than with own eyes. Requires C13 female power plug. Collection from NW London near bottom of M1. Free delivery by car within M25. Delivery further afield might be possible by arrangement inc. fuel cost. I will be away until April 20th but everything will be ready to despatch on my return."

"ARP Odyssey model 2800 white face, serial 28422. CV/gate circuit installed, as well as an audio input for passing an external signal through the filter. The original sliders have been replaced by new ones. Comes also with a nice Stardust cover. In very good condition for its age, but the oscillators need to be recalibrated. Also, the power switch works, but the LED no longer lights up."

"This is my late husband David Hudson's Arp Odyssey Mark 1 which he bought new and was his pride and joy in the 70s. David was, among other things, sound engineer for the Swingle Singers for many years. I have had it fully reconditioned by Synth Prof in Long Melford Suffolk. It comes with all the original manuals and charts.
VEMIA note: this gave me such pleasure editing the excellent photos. Of course after more than 50 years there are a few little dings - highlighted faithfully in the photos - but the overall look is really like it was made yesterday. **Now with added photo of the fantastic original literature that came with this machine in 1972. - see under the thumbnail of pic 3.**" [2nd pic in this post]

"You're looking at an original vintage Black and Gold-finished Mk I ARP AXXE. In nice working condition overall, only expect some crackling here and there. Look the unique cosmetics, since the panel's original paint has vanished, the modules and signal flow diagram have been distinctively hand-painted on gold by underground comic artist Angel Alvarez. A white overlay is also provided for more of a classic look (see last picture). It has electronics similar to the Odyssey, but the AXXE owns its unique timbral character and, while you can get the famous analog ARP tone, it could produce different sonic results including both powerful basses while being capable of real punchy and vibrating sizzly lines, still at a fraction of the cost of its sibiling [sic] and also keeps a couple of neat tricks under its sleeve, as you can appreciate watching this video [posted here]. A great bonus are the connections on the back allowing an external synth or signal to be processed, a control pedal input for the filter plus CV, Gate and Trigger inputs and outputs. [ Note: Buyer consents to provide any information needed if buying outside the EU trade bloc ]. Will be packed thoughtfully."
