Guido's Guide To Ebay Vintage Synth Speak

1. This is a rare analog synthesiser from the 70's in near mint shape.

READ: This is gonna be pricey and it still plays.

2. If you are familiar with these old synths then you know what you
are bidding on.

READ: This is really gonna be pricey.

3. This machine is VERY RARE. You may never see another one on ebay.

READ: I remembered I had it after I saw another one sell for big bucks
last month on ebay.

4. I have had this synth for many years and really do hate to sell it
but it must go to make room for other things.

READ: I remembered I had it after I saw another one sell for big

5.The only thing wrong with it is that one of the notes is mute but it

READ: There is probably a lot more wrong with it and I am afraid to
take it somewhere and find out.

6. Had it checked out by a tech and he says it's 100%.

READ: A buddy of mine, who works at Best Buy, and I got drunk and
stoned and, man...it still works.

7. It has the good oscillator board in it.

READ: A friend, who has a virtual analog modular synth, says it sounds

8. The synth has some light scratches, but nothing major…extremely

9. Although it works great, given it's age I am selling 'as-is'.

READ: It will die, completely.... next week.

10. I accept postal money orders only. I cannot get to the post office

don't expect me to send this to you with any sense of urgency.

selling a high quality copy of the manual. Check my other
