For sale is an Arp Odyssey vintage analog synthesizer. This unit is in great shape cosmetically, looks very clean. It also just got back from servicing. Apparently previous owner had tried some DIY repairs and done a poor job of it, and it came to me needing work. I sent it to a professional tech that completed servicing it did a nice job cleaning the internals, securing all the boards in place, replacing necessary capacitors, rebuilding the keyboard (plays very nice), servicing the sliders (they all move smoothly). Two of the sliders were replaced with the newer LED lit sliders. It's 98% functional at this point, all the features working as they should. The only issue is the tracking on the oscillators. If they are tuned together while playing a single note, they will get out of tune with each other the further up or down the keyboard you move away from the starting tuning note. After about an octave is becomes somewhat noticeable and at 2 octaves there is definite detuning sound. This is the last step the tech did not have time to troubleshoot. Otherwise it is working great.I believe this to be a MkI internally but with the black/gold case and a knob style tuning section (unlike the push pads on MkIIs and MkIII). So probably a late MkI during a transition period between Mk1 and Mk2. It has the Arp 4023 filter. The serial plate/number is missing (and oddly there is a 3260 model serial number on this but it is not related to Odyssey model number). These old Odyssey's have such a great tone and the newer Korgs, while great recreations, don't quite capture the beauty of the originals. Check out the pictures for more details.
FREE shipping in the USA with Fedex Ground, insurance and signature included. Yes I can ship internationally for a flat rate of $120 with USPS Priority Mail (estimated 6-10 business days) or $160 with USPS Express (estimated 3-5 business days). International buyers must contact me first to make sure I can ship to your location as I cannot ship to all countries due to size limitations. This will be very well packed for the trip, I have packed and shipped a few high end pieces before and know how to deliver them safely. This synth is looking for a new home and will make you very happy. Thanks for reading. Good luck :)
