"A Cosmetically Gorgeous example of a vintage minimoog and in fully functional condition.
This Minimoog has been fully serviced, restored and calibrated and built with the Rosen Sound rebuild kit. This Minimoog features the early oscillator board which has been attributed to a more raw and beefier sound. The Cabinet was professionally restored by Mosquito Fleet Design."
"The E-MU Emulator II is a vintage synthesizer known for its iconic sound and functionality. This particular model is all original and fully functional, making it a rare find for collectors and musicians alike. With a reputation for producing rich and diverse soundscapes, the E-MU Emulator II remains a highly sought-after piece of equipment in the world of music production. This unit is very clean, it has been well-maintained and is in excellent condition for its age. Rosen sound serviced this unit fully in 2020. I used it only on a studio and it never left the studio."

"This Memorymoog has been loved, and it’s got the vibe to prove it—some scratches and a worn look, but it’s fully functional and ready for more. If you’ve ever played one, you know these synths are beasts, and the sound is just massive. I’ve used this on so many records, it’s time to switch things up, but if you’re after that iconic Moog tone, this thing delivers.
It’s got the MIDI kit installed, making it a breeze to hook into modern setups. The original fan? Crazy noisy, so I replaced it with a quieter modern one—now you get all the analog magic without the extra hum. It’s been serviced every six months for regular check-ups, and back in 2018, it underwent a full restoration by Rosen Sound in LA, so it’s been well taken care of.
And yeah, all six oscillators are tuned—no small feat with these machines. If you know Memorymoogs, you know the oscillators are notorious for drifting out of tune, but I’ve kept them locked in and serviced. Be very careful when getting one of these and who you are buying it from. Constant service check ups and love is key for these"

"Moog Memorymoog Plus with Midi polyphonic analog synthesizer. It's in great shape and 100% fully functional, completely gone through and serviced as needed (with many hours and high costs). If you are looking for a Memorymoog that's been well taken care of, this is the one. This will be safely packed for transit in a custom made box.
Work performed includes: - replacement of all the electrolytic capacitors - replacement of all the cmos ICs - replacement of the OPAmps of the dmux board - replacement of the socket connectors - cleaning of all the tactile switches - cleaning of the potentiometers - cleaning of the key contacts - replacement of panel ribbon connectors - cleaning of the jack sockets - replacement of PSU with efficient lower heat PSU + Rosen Sound stereo mod Stereo Outs (utilizes program advance and backwards jacks for stereo outs so no drilling required, Normal Mono outs work as they should too - factory calibration"
"This is in excellent working condition! Serviced by Rosen Sound a few years ago, this powers right up and all functions are working well. A few sliders are occasionally scratchy due to lack of recent use, but otherwise this is working perfectly."
"This is a professionally fully restored Oberheim Two Voice. It's in physically excellent condition for its age. The original tolex is in amazing shape with only a couple little tears in the lid. The keys are perfectly pristine white, no fading at all. You can tell this spend the majority of its life with the lid on judging by how nice the key whites are. Every module was professionally restored by Synth Tailor a little over a year ago, the Sequencer was restored by Rosen Sound and Synth Tailor. Restoration documentation will be provided to the new owner. Definitely not the cheapest TVS you can find but if you buy one that is not restored you are looking at 2-4k in labor to get it back to a reliable state and a very long wait time for it to be completed."
"Here is a restored Jupiter 8, all the power supply capacitors have been replaced as well as the transformer with one manufactured by ROSEN SOUND. The CPU circuit has been replaced with a model manufactured by SYNTHWORKS and the control switch for the LFO/Modulation knob has also been replaced. The controls are in good condition and operate smoothly, and the dust covers have been replaced. There is a modification on the back that I personally never use, but from what I can see it is connected with each of the controller boards to the VCO LFO MOD section and the VCA MOD section. I have seen other JP8s with the same modification in the past but I never asked what it was for exactly. Of course for a 40 year old synthesizer there is some cosmetic wear, but it is possible to replace the side panels with new ones and the heat sink as well. The front panel was damaged at the hatch and rear, but can be dented quite easily and repainted."

"Power section and chorus board fully recapped, brand new battery, factory presets loaded, faders and keybed cleaned. Tape Verify button was non-functioning, replaced with an OEM switch from Rosen Sound.
Overall the unit is in great shape with only one minor blemish on the sideboard. Chorus is clean and strong, no white noise. Preset bank 1 button sometimes needs a bit of a hard push but every other button is working great. Missing the dust covers on a couple switches, as well as a couple exterior screws. Comes with an anvil hard case."

"I hope you enjoy this rare opportunity to visit with my close friend Rob Rosen for a deep dive into his ultimate vintage synth collection. Together, we’ll see inside some of the rarest synthesizers of all-time and learn from this master technician how synthesizers have evolved, what makes them tick and why synthesizers make such cool sounds!
I consider Rob’s shop @Rosen Sound ground zero for anything relating to synthesizers. It’s also the biggest wonderland of vintage synths in perfect working order that you’ll ever see .
Rob is a self-taught technician and is now the world leader for repair, restoration, custom manufacturing and sales of vintage synthesizers. He’s also quite an accomplished musician programmer and keyboard player as well."

This Juno-106 has been serviced to provide another lifetime of functionality.
Service notes include: - replacing all 6 voice chips with Rosen Sound clones - replacing all 34 tactile switches on panel board - replacing a few broken sliders - cleaning lubricating all sliders - cleaning lubricating all potentiometers - cleaning all I/O jacks - installing new 3-prong IEC receptacle - installing new battery - reloading all factory patches - calibrating Juno to factory specs - testing Juno for several hours to ensure reliable performance"
"Great condition, pro serviced at Rosen Sound last year….
The CS-40m is a duophonic (2-voice) analog synthesizer that was introduced in 1979. Although Yamaha had already conquered polyphony with their legendary 8-voice CS-80, the CS-40m offered a more affordable approach to something other than a mono-synth. It has a semi-compact 44 note (3 1/2 octave) keyboard, 36 knobs, 12 sliders and over a dozen buttons for easy hands-on performance and editing. There are also 20 patches of memory which can be off-loaded to cassette tape."
