MOscar fully restored (except knobs)
video upload by Craig Barnes
"First test of the restored MOscar synth. It came to me quite dead with a loose MIDI board and a dead -5v rail, along with quite a few weird pots and strange wiring. Anyways I think it's back to normal now with a Tauntek MIDI upgrade as well."

Akai S2000 Sampler NEW OLD STOCK with Extras Including Original Box

via this Reverb listing
"New old stock Akai S2000 classic sampler with extras. Opened just to take pictures and to be turned on.
Includes original set of Floppy Disks (OS 2.0, MESA, Sounds Disk, Demo Sequence), SCSI, Manual in German, the Optional Original Akai 32 Mb memory expansion SIMMs, a 16 GB SD Card with preloaded 7 of the original Library Discs (vol. 1-7 ) in Image Files format ready for eg. ZuluSCSI readers. This images were created from my original Akai CD library vol. 1-7 with a Plextor Drive and are not from any uncertain web source.
Unit comes new as it was sold back then, so NO optional output expansion is present. The unit has the standard 2Mb memory fitted, the buyer will expand its memory to its maximum (32 Mb) with the new Akai SIMMs provided as pictured.
For any Akai Sampler Collector the oppurtunity to own a new unit directly from the past (so no yellowed knobs or buttons or any other sign of use)
Due to the almost-vintage nature of the item it listed in Reverb as used-mint but it is actually NEW."

Pic of the inside below.
"Clavia Nord Lead 3 with Full Pro Restoration + Custom Line Out Mod. This one has been completely rebuilt. Studio-ready, sonically enhanced, and future-proofed. 1 year warranty with Invoice.
Full PSU rebuild, including replacement of X2 safety caps (RIFA issue permanently resolved)
Complete recap with high-grade parts: Panasonic FR/HD, Kemet PEGH, Nichicon MUSE, ELNA Silmic II
Unique Line Out Mod, deliberate hardware-based character shaping at the analog output stage:
• Outputs 1–2: Silmic II – warm, smooth character
• Outputs 3–4: MUSE – clean, punchy tone
Factory-original AD1865R R–2R multibit DACs and pure analog output signal path, no oversampling, no digital filtering. Fantastic transient response, vivid mid-range, deep and punchy low end.
100% working, clean condition. This is one of the very few NL3s on the market that has had its PSU, caps, and audio path completely upgraded with longevity and sound quality in mind."
