For sale is a Sequential Circuits Prophet VS keyboard. It's mostly functional but does have a few issues.
The main issues are that the joystick and data slider are not working. Data slider will responds (rarely) if moved just the right way but not easily so it would need a repair or replacing. I believe Wine Country in San Jose might have data sliders replacements for around $25, and I've also seen people mod these with more robust potentiometers instead of the finicky slider. Not sure why the joystick isn't working, it might just be a simple fix. Also a few of the buttons require harder pushes and program buttons 7 & 9 are not working even if pushed firmly. You could get around all these issues using it as a sound module and controlling it with midi controllers. Otherwise everything else appears to be functioning as it should. The screen still has a little backlight life left in it and there are replacement screens available as well if desired. Cosmetically it's in good shape but it has some wear on the front/sides and a couple small chips in the keys.I priced it low accordingly. I don't have time to send it in for repairs, so I thought I would offer this project to a new buyer for a discounted price. These are selling for $3000 and up these days, so you could get yourself a nice deal with the savings and put some of that towards servicing or do it yourself if you are handy with repairs. I'll even include some extra sysex patches I've collected from ROM & RAM cartridges over the years, sent via email attachment to the winning bidder. Also includes power cable and dust cover. These keyboards are getting rare and don't show up for sale more than a few times a year. Amazing vector synthesis sound with analog filters. Nothing sounds like the VS! Haunting pads, thick leads, bells, effects, it's amazing every time I play it.
Flat rate $50 shipping in the USA with Fedex Ground, insurance and signature upon delivery included. International shipping is an estimated $160 with USPS Priority Mail (estimated 6-10 business days. International buyers MUST contact me for shipping quote before purchase as some locations are more expensive to ship to than others and I cannot ship to all countries due to size limits. 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.
