DETAILS:

Our items are as described, which means no typical surprise post-sale repair bills or serious flaws typical of most vintage gear deals! 

This OB1 was just serviced and is working and sounding GREAT!  The battery's nice and healthy.  The key contacts and pots were cleaned.  The oscillators were calibrated so they track the keyboard well, in parallel with one another.  There are a few dings, scratches and other imperfections but nothing major or hideous. After taking the photos, we realized the metal in the front, just below the keys seems to be dented inwards just a little bit - we will straighten this out if we get a chance to open this unit up again - this metal is easy to bend so this should be a simple matter. Theres a very small ding in the top back edge above the vco2 section - it's nothing worth worrying over as it's very minor. One of the small plastic caps that fits over each knob is slightly chipped and one of the wooden sides had a chip that was filled in with wood putty. This appears to have been done very quickly and, although it looks ok, it would be an easy matter for anyone with woodworking experience to do a better job, if they prefer.  We think it looks ok the way it is.  There are a couple screws missing but things are intact regardless.   There are some small scratches and imperfections in the wood and elsewhere.  Overall, we feel this unit will make most people looking for a used OB1 very happy.

Don’t let our overly critical descriptions discourage you, check out the photos above!
