"It's cosmetically an 8 out of 10 and functions as it should except for one minor issue. The membrane keys from slots 25-32 are very difficult to depress. It's possible, but requires a strong thwack. This makes it a bit difficult to access the amp envelope, VCA, and patches 25-32."

Pics of the inside below.
"This AX80 is in MIGHTY slick condition. From the sleek black sides to the sharp retro fluorescent displays, this AX rocks.
The synth has been gone through and had two CEM3372 ICs replaced with new old stock ICs, keyboard contacts cleaned, power supply voltages inspected, all ribbon cables secured, and a general cleaning.
Included is a very rare AKAI branded soft case that would have been ordered separately back in the day. This is the only one ive ever seen and it definitely ties the whole vibe together.
8 Voices w/ 2 DCOs and 1 Sub Oscillator per voice
61 Keys
64 User Patches and 32 Presets (User Memory currently empty, ready for you to save your own lush pads!)
Full MIDI integration
Rad Vacuum Fluorescent Displays (all functioning correctly)"

"All original. No issues - plays and sounds great! Left wooden side panel has some paint chipping. Looks this the corner was bumped at some point. Does not affect playing. Pretty clean overall."

Note these are on Craigslist which I don't normally post, but I know the seller and he supports the site. :)
"$450 - Akai AX80 8 voice vintage analog synth in great working shape. This synth was babied after purchase in my non smoking studio and never played out. Fully functional with the following cosmetic issues:
Minor scuffs due to age and in the condition I purchased it in. There's one small cosmetic ding above the Hold button and LED as you can see - the button and LED work fine. Aside from this the membrane is pristine. Looks brand new. No depressions or cracks.
One key was cracked so I glued a small ram chip on it years ago as you can see. It is smooth, not rough to the touch, and feels fine. See Pics.
VCA 30 Velocity LED bar is out. This is purely cosmetic. The parameter works fine and you can see the values change on the red numerical display by the data knob. Only the EQ looking LED is out as you can see in the pics.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask. This is a great sounding vintage 8 voice polyphonic analog synth and it is 100% sonically functional and solid. The AX80 uses the same CEM3372 Filter/Mix/VCA chips as on the Oberheim Matrix-12, Xpander, SCI Prophet-600 and T8. For a full list of what synths use the 3372 see here."
"$300 - RedSound DARKSTAR XP2 - Redsound's eight voice virtual analog desktop synth with a joystick. Like new."

"A very cool polyphonic analogue synthesizer manufactured in the 80s. It has some wear but everything works 100%. Here is a chance to get the real thing in nice shape."

Note the side panels are textured. They are usually a glossy piano black as you can see in other posts.

"This is an amazing and highly underrated synth with a very aggressive and unique sounding filter. 3 LFO's and the envelope generators provide some really wild and wacky sounds when the filter is pushed. It's also very capable of great bass sounds. It also has, IMO, the most beautiful control panel displays to boot."
