Well, i've had this thing sitting about for a while now. It is an old ARP Quartet, otherwise known as a Siel Orchestra made in 1979. These things were used by Massive Attack and 808 state (according to VSI)
Anyway, this one has seen better days. The ends will need replaced because the chip board got knackered in transit. One of the keys is cracked, on the surface, but still functions. A couple of the sliders aren't working (master volume and decay/release), despite that i've had sound come out of this thing, so it does work! - but you'll have to fix the slider in order for it to actually be properly playable/giggable. The other sliders and buttons are all functioning, if a bit sticky. Its not a great synth in all honesty and in this condition it certainly isn't worth much. The string sounds are lovely, but that is about it for my taste anyway.
I'll let it go for £40 picked up in Edinburgh. I might take the notion to repair it and maybe mod it here and there, would be quite a cool string machine.
Cheers for looking,
