"The Prophet 10 was just received back from a professional synth tech who did the following repairs/service:
Replaced Osc A level pot, recapped CPU board, power supply, 2 voice boards, output board.
2 keyboards: replaced bushings, cleaned j-wires & buss bars.
Replaced battery; loaded factory patches; tuned & scaled.
Installed MIDI
The tape drive board was found to be faulty, very common to these, so I had the Wine Country MIDI retrofit installed.

You won't find another Prophet 10 in better operating condition, but then again, you probably won't find another Prophet 10, period.
