Clavia Nord Modular G1

Sold For: US $318.00

via selectivepressure in the comments: 'From the listing: "There is one problem with Slot D. On most patches, the synth plays nothing but static after the 3rd or 4th note is pressed. I'm not sure why, but I think a voice within the Polyphony circuitry malfunctions when it comes to certain patches. There are patches that work with no problems in this slot, but I have found those to be few. Other than that, everything in this synth works like new. All keys work great. Slots A, B, and C work perfect. All Midi and editing functions work fine.

Included with the Modulr are the orginal owners manual, the Wizoo Guide to the Nord Modular, a copy of Rob Hordijk's Nord Modular Wokshop (plus the tutorial patches), and a CD ROM loaded with the editing software (version 3.0) and a whole BUTT-LOAD of patches I've collected.'"

Vintage Casio CZ-1 Synthesizer Keyboard

via this auction

"CZ-1 ROM Cartridge (#RC-30 Organ/Synth Sound/Sound Effect)."

Sold For: US $103.39

via selectivepressure in the comments: "'Up for sale is this vintage Casio CZ-1 synthesizer being offered for parts or repair. This keyboard shows very little cosmetic wear, and does produce sound, but inconsistently. The unit powers up and the display and buttons light and seem to work as far as changing patches, etc., but the signal cuts in and out when you can get it to sound. It acts as though one of at least three things could be responsible: the volume and/or stereo chorus control sliders are dirty or defective - we tried cleaning the sliders with no luck; the 1/4" outputs may be bad, although the issue is the same with headphones; if the keyboard will not sound, hammering the keys seems to get the signal to come in, and will work sometimes for 10-20 seconds, and then starts to cut out again. In general there seems to but some type of connection problem inside the unit, or at least a few defective parts. There is no real consistency to the problems, and this is being offered for parts or repair only with no guarantee. Includes power cord and a working (from what we can tell) CZ-1 ROM Cartridge (#RC-30 Organ/Synth Sound/Sound Effect).'"
