The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Hi,

I bought the AN1x from a private seller on eBay with 100% good 
feedback.

He even let me pick it up from his house and let me have a demo play 
of the AN1x before I bought it.

I only noticed this problem when I switched the synth on the next 
day.

I doubt very much if he will pay for the repair as feedback has 
already been given.

Cheers

Arthur
