1980s Roland Juno-106 Vintage Analog Synthesizer Fully Serviced w/ MIDI
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"1980's Roland Juno-106 analog synthesizer in exceptional condition and in good working order. Recently imported directly from Japan, this synth has just been fully serviced and calibrated, fitted with an IEC power receptacle and wired for 120V. One of the most enduringly popular Roland synths of the '80s, the Juno-106 has virtually the same synth engine as its predecessor the Juno 60, yet with extensive MIDI capability and over twice the patch memory storage (128 patches).
The Juno-106 is a six-voice polyphonic and programable analog synth with one digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) per voice. The Juno-106 uses built-in Chorus to fatten up its sound to dramatic effect too. The nature of the Juno's DCO results in a sound that is stable, always in perfect tune, but still warm and analog. The Juno features an excellent 24dB/oct analog lowpass filter with plenty of resonance and self-oscillating possibilities as well as a non-resonant high pass filter. The programable pitch/mod bender can be assigned to control the DCO pitch, VCF cutoff, and LFO amount all at once or individually.
Cosmetically, this Roland synthesizer shows only light wear on the back and bottom of the enclosure, with clean and virtually unfaded key caps, all original slider caps intact, and bright graphics. This synth is straightforward, powerful, and the perfect balance of thick analog warmth and modern digital convenience."

"Sequential Circuits Prophet 600 in excellent condition and in perfect working order. The celebrated little brother of the Prophet 5 and the first commercially available synth to feature MIDI functionality, the P600 model is an incredible value, retaining the rich tonal quality and much of the functionality of the Prophet 5.
The P600 has two oscillators per voice with sawtooth, triangle, and variable pulse waveforms. The oscillators can be individually tuned or synced together. Similar quality VCF and VCA sections from the Prophet 5 can be found here too! The P5's Poly-Mod section has also been passed onto the P600. An extremely versatile and easy to use synth, highlights of the P600 include the onboard arpeggiator, two-track sequencer and poly-modulation. The P600 is great for creating analog effects, swells and drones, and additionally boasts a glide effect and very flexible modulation possibilities.
The synth has been freshly serviced and thoroughly tested, and all functions and features work as intended. There's only very light wear on the solid wood ends framing the synth, and only a bit of additional light edge wear on the enclosure. All of the original knobs are intact too."
