"OB-8 with Factory MIDI and original manual. It was serviced last October (see photo for list of services) where the OB-Xa mod was done to give it a little more low-end like the OB-Xa. The keyboard was swapped out years ago for the OB-X keyboard, which I and others prefer the feel of. A goose-neck cable attachment was also put on it on the upper right face for a goose-neck light to be attached if desired. I also labeled all the Page 2 functions (see photos) Considering the nearly 40 year-old age, it is in good shape cosmetically with only mild wear and tear from over the decades."
