This transformation makes it look 10 times better and protects it from shocks/damages, and it also makes it much more stable when placed on its side. Upgraded EPRoms to Revision 11 of OSINTRO: Needs none! A crazy and backwards synth that will give you the opportunity to do things no other synth will be capable of doing.If you are looking at this ad, you know what this is. Don’t let this opportunity pass you by. You will not find another in this condition. WE HAVE A LARGE SELECTION OF CARRYING CASES!!! Hard, soft, large, small…any kind; AT GREAT PRICES! If interested, please check our other listings (under our profile). We have MANY posted.And if you decided to purchase one, we can ship them together to save you money on shipping. Please let us know in advance, so we can make that possible by merging the two transactions into one. CONDITION: This MUSICIAN'S DREAM-GEAR is FULLY FUNCTIONAL, and I would say it is in AMAZING condition (especially for its age)! However, and respectfully, since everyone has different standards; on the cosmetics, please don't take my word for it! I'll let the pictures do the talking. 🙂 SERVICE HISTORY: I am sure that if you are looking at this item, you know everything about it. So, I will first tell you about this particular gem:IT HAS JUST BEEN FULLY INSPECTED/SERVICED AND IS READY FOR A NEW HOME! The following services were just done, which cost us over $1965!!! IF you find another one for less than what ours is selling for, and since most of the used ones out there, that are supposed to be "fully functional", turn out NOT to be; you will then need to find someone who would work on these (which is very hard nowadays), and then who knows how much it would cost to make it fully functional??! Especially since these synths are now over 42 years old! Which means unless they had just been serviced, hardly any of them would be fully functional; and CONDITION IS EVERYTHING!SERVICES DONE:Full inspectionLoad tested for 2 hoursKey-bed completely taken apart, all keys washed in soap, all contacts revived and the key-bed fully restoredFresh board battery installedControl panel’s membrane switches/face replaced with newSide panels (End Caps) replaced and upgradedCleaned and Lubricated all PotentiometersCleaned and Lubricated all SlidersCleaned and Lubricated all Switches All outputs servicedPower supply was calibrated (+5, -5, +12, and -12V)All contacts cleanedReplaced Tuning Capacitors located adjacent to VCO ICs related to filtering the Control Voltage SignalsReplaced Faulty IC Z71 (CD4070B)Replaced Faulty CEM 3374 VCO with CEM 3374 Clone to restore missing voiceUpgraded Eproms to Revision 11 of OSFully calibrated per Service Manual: Reloaded Factory Patches.

Key SensitivityCleaned It was originally priced at $1495.00 US in 1984, which in today’s money comes to over $5000!!! So, at this price, and in this condition; IT IS A BARGAIN!!!This wonder is adored by all Collectors/Musicians, and will only go up in value! This is a great opportunity for anyone who has wanted one to play with, or to add to their collection. Don't hesitate; this opportunity won't last long...SOME SELLING POINTS:The Chroma Polaris was the second synthesizer made by Fender/Rhodes after they took over ARP, following their classic Rhodes Chroma. It has a classic analog ARP-like sound, kind-of tinny but also fat. Sounds can be layered up to 6 voices. It has typical analog synth controls including a cool 'sweep' knob for sweeping through the LFO or analog filter cutoff parameters. It also has a simple real-time sequencer and 132 memory patches.There's also a nice and colorful layout with sliders similar to Roland Juno synths, membrane push-buttons and a large velocity sensitive 61-note keyboard making the Chroma Polaris a very nice synth. Fully MIDI-equipped, the Polaris will transmit and receive all its edit controls through MIDI as well as the ability to play up to three patches at once. Unfortunately they are rare and usually hard to find. It has been used by Leftfield and Jimmy Edgar.READ ALL ABOUT THIS DEVICE BELOW! (Under "some specs from the web")WHY BUY FROM US: CERTIFIED!!!

We PACK SAFE and SHIP FAST!A LITTLE ABOUT ME (Kevin): I am a 46-year-old, with a degree in Electronics Engineering, who LOVES Synthesizers, sounds, Music, and Electronics in general. Even though I do not work in the Electronics industry; I have always loved/adored it, never separated from it; and as a hobby, I collect and restore them; and sometimes sell them to make room for others... I've been around Synthesizers for over three decades, have serviced/restored hundreds of them, and have hundreds of the rarest/most sought-after synthesizers/keyboards available for sale. (which is one of the largest selections of used synthesizers found in one place!)WHY BUY FROM US? (full version) When you're buying a vintage (or just a used) car, does the condition matter? Of course it does! 😊 Are two used cars that are the same make and model the same? Would all similar (year, make and model) cars sell at the same price? No; there are many factors that would decide what price they fetch. Mileage, body, functionality, extra options, service history, past use... and one of the most important ones is CONDITION, which is everything! That is the reason a factory certified used Mercedes, fetches at least $4000 more, than the one you'd buy from a private seller you find on Craigslist.😊That's why when it comes to buying a used car, price is not everything... And buying a secondhand synthesizer, is no different than purchasing a vintage or used car. Yes, I'm proud of my children for sure. Mainly because when it comes to used keyboards and synths (just like used cars), condition is EVERYTHING! I have searched hard, hand-picked and collected only the best of the best that are in pristine condition (majority of them); and then had them professionally inspected, serviced/repaired (if needed), reprogrammed/restored (if needed), detailed... There's definitely value in that. On average, we spend about 5 hours on every single keyboard, before offering it for sale, and if they're not serviced, or if they don't pass the inspection, WE DON’T SELL THEM! We believe in selling ONLY high-quality items, to ensure that our clients are very happy with their purchase, which produces repeats, referrals and customers for life! 😁Not to mention the professional musicians that need to count on their instrument's reliability, as their livelihood depends on it. We have the biggest respect/admiration for the professional musicians, and want them to have peace of mind when they step on the stage… In contrast, when it comes to USED GEAR FROM OTHER SOURCES, including the major retailers, you'd have to keep your fingers crossed until it arrives... And most often, they are NOT WHAT THEY WERE DESCRIBED TO BE, and most often, there is something wrong with the gear (as I am sure you, just like me, have experienced many times before). And often enough turn into headaches or heartaches...However, you can rest assured, that if you buy from us, you will get a fully functional gear, and you'll get to see tons of details and pictures, before making up your mind! 🙂 No retailer would service them prior to the sale (they don’t even wipe it down!), as it costs an additional $300-$800 (or more)! Not to mention finding a Synth Tech is extremely difficult/costly nowadays. And that is what we do, as a labor of love! We do this because we really enjoy ANYTHING and EVERYTHING about synthesizers! Buying, selling, fixing, collecting, playing...we just love them! 😍 And finally, CUSTOMER SERVICE, which is also one of the major factors in retail/buying. We try our very best to provide everyone with the best possible service and experience; a fun one! We always stay on top of all communications in a timely manner, even/specially after the sale, which is where most sellers often disappear, or just don't care/reply...Also, we are a HUGE believer in preserving, not just synthesizers (especially vintage!), but also our planet! So, we recycle EVERYTHING, and re-use as many parts as we can (fully functioning parts from donors), to help reduce our carbon foot-print.If you've made it this far on this very long scroll 😄, you have our biggest thank you!
