Selling all of my music gear this week. This listing is for the incredibly rare Chroma Polaris (made by Fender/Rhodes) synth.These pretty much never come up for sale. They didn't make a lot of them back in the 80s. A shame because this is one of the best sounding 80s polysynths you'll find. You get incredibly rich warm tones with a complex programming structure and a very advanced MIDI spec. This is one of the few fat analogs that sends and receives MIDI for all of it's parameters. This synth was a few steps beyond the trendy Moogs of its day. Unique and advanced...right up there with Oberheim and Sequential Circuits.This particular Polaris is special because it has a new control panel (touch buttons) and internal ribbons installed. This means that it is good to go for another few decades. Finding one that is fully function like this is really difficult.All of the sliders and controls work perfectly with no noise or artifacts. The outputs are clean and solid. MIDI works perfectly as well. All of the keys respond and feel like new. Cosmetically, it is also in really good shape. A few scuffs on the wood side panels...that's about it. I thought about painting them, but just left them as-is.I am selling it with the original instruction manual as well.All payment by PayPal only.  Immediate payment required after purchase.  Will ship overseas using Ebay's dispatch system.  I pack well and ship quickly.  This synth is extremely heavy.  Ebay calculates the shipping costs for you.  I am in NC.  If you live in CA, it's going to be expensive.  Please don't be mad...but whatever it says is literally what it costs.All sales are final.  I have confidence that you'll be happy with this item, but as with all vintage gear, returns can not be accepted.  Please let me know if you have any questions at all and see my perfect feedback and buy with confidence.
