Roland SH-09 Vintage Mono Synth 1980

 

Classic early Roland synth in working condition. 

 

The synth works well for a 45 year old but could do with a service. 

The keys all trigger, a couple have been repaired many years ago and the bottom F can miss fire occasionally. 

The portamento slider is a little wayward and probably needs a new slider. All the other knobs and switches work as they ought to and the synth plays in tune up and down the board. There are a couple of replacement slider caps.

There are some rusty patches on the fascia. 

That said it sounds fantastic, easy to use with PWM and a sub oscillator. A classic mono synth for a reasonable price. Pickup preferred but can send in the UK at buyer’s cost.

Wow!  I'd love to, but I really shouldn't.

Thats a bargainous price! GLWTS

Oh man, I had one of these back in the 80s. Gigged the blazes out of it. Wonderful big phat pharty sounds, I wish to god I'd never flogged it.

In fact, that pattern of paint bubbling round the Roland logo on the right hand end looks so familiar, this might even have been my actual one.

Now that would be a coincidence!
