Sequential Circuits Prophet-5 REV 1 !! MIDI Fully Restored VINTAGE SYNTH DEALER

Description: ABOUT US: WE BUY, SELL & REPAIR VINTAGE SYNTHS & STUDIO GEAR PROFESSIONAL PERFECTIONISTS WITH 3 DECADES OF EXPERIENCE BUY WITH CONFIDENCE. We specialize in high quality, fully-serviced vintage analog synths, keyboards & other used gear. We're professional dealers & musicians too. We know our gear inside and out and treat our customers honestly & respectfully. We've been on eBay for many years. You can find our old feedback under user name minime123. Nowadays, we sell most items directly on our website, but occasionally use eBay too. Please mark us as a favorite seller. PRICES: eBay fees are high and are factored into our prices here. We are a reputable business and will not price match with other sellers selling a much lower quality product and service. You get what you pay for. ABOUT THIS ITEM: This item is also listed on our website, so please contact us before bidding to make sure it’s still available. Due to the high value of this item and the sad fact that there are some crappy people out there, PLEASE READ EVERYTHING here, tell us a little about your interest and wait for our permission to buy as we want to be sure this transaction will be a pleasant one for both of us. Like nearly all the high end vintage analog synths we sell, this item has been METICULOUSLY disassembled, cleaned inside and out, FULLY serviced by professionals who’ve been servicing and selling vintage synths for more than the last 3 decades, and systematically tested multiple times over a long period to ensure it’s working exactly as it should. No BS. No ebay surprises. We’re perfectionists and don’t cut corners. Although this instrument came to us in relatively good shape, we want our items to be better than the rest and invested *many* hours of tech time plus parts costs to fully overhaul this unit so it would be clean, working like new again and as reliable as possible for its next owner. This was a serious investment of time, love, and money, and was definitely worth the effort and is of course reflected in the higher than usual price. If you’re looking for a great sounding example of this model that works just like it should without needing to invest hundreds or thousands of dollars in tech fees and waiting from weeks to years, this one should make you very happy. This is the very first version of the classic Prophet-5 synthesizer. There were reportedly less than 200 of these rev 1 Prophet-5s made, and some if not all of them were made in Dave Smith's garage. How many are working perfectly and a real pleasure to play today, like this one now is, after we paid our tech for around 100 hours of highly skilled vintage synth tech labor plus parts? We bought this item from a customer who said it was working fine. We had a feeling it wasn't, because they never are. And we were right. The entire process of sorting out its tricky problems and rebuilding it to our high standards to work like new again (or better!) took around 100 hours. The resulting instrument is most likely the best functioning, feeling and sounding example of its kind anywhere. At this point, we have so much time and money invested in it that we're only going to sell it if we can get a small fortune for it. If you're just looking for any prophet-5, search our website for others and get a rev 3 machine. If you're a serious Prophet-5 head and you want the best rev 1 money can buy, this is a rare opportunity to buy one that was slaved over, sparing no expense, to work perfectly. If it doesn’t sell, we're fine keeping it and enjoying it in our studio. This unit has a Kenton MIDI kit installed that was originally designed for a later revision p5. The shipping calculator here may be wrong. Buyer pays ACTUAL insured shipping costs. International shipping: The price using eBay’s Global Shipping Program option is accurate. If you check out using this option, this will be the only option. If the calculator shows a UPS Expedited option, the cost may be a lot less using our UPS account - the best way to calculate shipping via this method would be to go to our website, find the item and use the calculator there since our shipping calculator should be more accurate - but please email us first to discuss as we want to be sure the shipping quote seems right.We will settle up any shipping differences after the item ships. It will ship within approximately 2 weeks of when we receive full payment. We won’t falsely declare the value of this item, so please don’t ask. PAYMENT TERMS: Please do NOT use the Buy It Now option yet. Since this is a high value item, please contact us to discuss your interest and intent to buy and wait to hear back from us. We’ll need to adjust the payment preferences before you buy this item. We will require a $200 hold deposit via the eBay payment system. This will put this item on hold for you. Next, we'll need your name, address, phone and e-mail and we'll send you a proforma invoice for the balance due. This amount must be paid by electronic transfer from your bank to our business bank account within 48 hours. If we don’t receive these payments within the specified time frames, we will have to file an unpaid item report, cancel this sale and relist this item.
