"Korg Trident Mk2 8 voice poly analog synth 61 keys and with 32 patch memory from 1982-83, this was Korg's flagship polyphonic analog synth when the first Mk1 version was released in late 1979/early 80. This vintage analog synth was in bad condition on the inside when I bought it from Germany.
Along with various other issues this one had the same battery leak issue that is common to the Korg Tridents and the lower cost Korg Polysix, this is a USA 117 V version. This Trident is in fair condition cosmetically with showing much signs of heavy use and assorted scratches/scrapes and dings/dents, and this is somewhat expected from a vintage synth that has been around for 30+ years. There are pictured two chipped keys on the synth but we decided to leave them as they were because they do not affect the keys in any way. I sent the synth to the best repair and service available for old analog synths, The Analog Lab in NYC. The Trident synth has been 100% and extensively restored by them and functions 100% no missing voices or dead keys, and I have the work/service order. The Trident synth I can sell for $5K without the Anvil flight case, which I had ordered custom built new for the Trident and it costs over $500 for the case. These analog VCO/VCF Tridents used SSM chips and were very well regarded as awesome analog string synths with an onboard flanger, and with a limited but sweet brass and poly synth section as well. These Tridents were high quality made and built like a tank with real solid wood cases and this is a heavy synth, they don't build them like this very much anymore. The Mk 2 version added more memory and an additional envelope control for the VCF, also included is an original Korg service manual..."
