Cosmetically the unit is in very good condition. Please examine the photos.

The screen is clear and easily readable. On many Roland R-8 units the LCD display has become noticeably dim with age, making it difficult to read. As shown in the photos, the display on this unit clear.

Many Roland R-8 units show significant cosmetic wear after decades of use, including heavy scratches, scuffs, and other signs of studio or live use. This unit has been barely used with very minor signs of age. Please refer to the photos for details.

The unit has been thoroughly tested and is fully functional. Not recently serviced. The built-in service/diagnostic tests were run successfully and all buttons, pads, controls, and functions operated correctly. Everything performs as expected.

Comes with:

  • Original Roland European (EU) power adapter included. Finding an R-8 with its original Roland power supply is becoming increasingly uncommon. Many units have had their power arrangements altered over the years or are sold with non-original replacements. This unit remains in original configuration and includes the correct Roland adapter.
  • Manual

Shipping with Omniva Standard shipping and it comes with tracking. Estimated delivery time: 6–9 business days.

I also have several original Roland R-8 sound expansion cards available separately and am open to package deals for buyers interested in purchasing them together with the machine.
Available cards:

  • Roland SN-R8-01 Contemporary Percussion
  • Roland SN-R8-04 Electronic
  • Roland SN-R8-08 Dry

If interested, feel free to send an offer for a bundle including one or more expansion cards.
