Professionally Serviced, Rare Shadow Edition Example in Very Good Condition

Overview

We are delighted to present this Waldorf Wave – 16-Voice Shadow Black Edition, a magnificent example of Waldorf’s flagship hybrid wavetable polysynth and one of the most ambitious electronic instruments ever produced.

Representing the culmination of the PPG/Waldorf lineage, the Wave combined deep digital synthesis with true analogue filtering to create a sound that remains as inspiring today as when it first appeared in 1993. Its vast, hands-on interface and powerful modulation system made it a studio centrepiece for artists seeking uncompromising creative depth.

Equally prized by musicians, producers, collectors, and investors, the Wave endures as both a remarkable creative instrument and a testament to early-1990s German engineering excellence.

This Shadow Black Edition example, configured with 16 voices, is offered through the RL Music Brokering Serviceon behalf of a long-term UK owner and is one of only a small number of these special-finish units ever built.

Condition

This Waldorf Wave is presented in very good overall condition, graded 8.5/10 under RL Music’s in-house professional evaluation system, applied to all collector-grade instruments to ensure transparency and confidence for discerning buyers.

There are some light signs of age-related wear visible in areas of the panel finish, entirely consistent with a 30-year-old instrument, but nothing that detracts from its inspiring presentation or function. The control surface, display, and hardware all perform exactly as intended, and the instrument remains very visually impressive — clearly well cared for and maintained throughout its life.

1. Keybed and Key Discolouration
The key surfaces exhibit an ivory discolouration from age. We believe the Wave employs the Fatar TP/8S keybed. All keys operate perfectly and there is no functional issue, but for buyers who prefer a brighter appearance, there are potential cosmetic restoration options — either through careful whitening treatment or replacement of the key-tops. Both routes would involve some effort and cost and are entirely optional, as the instrument performs flawlessly. If you are interested in exploring these cosmetic possibilities, please contact us prior to purchase.

2. Display Brightness
The back-lit LED display functions perfectly with no segment loss, but its fixed brightness level is relatively low. There is no user adjustment for display intensity, so the Wave is best viewed in a softly lit environment for comfortable editing and navigation.

Servicing & Restoration

The instrument was evaluated and bench-tested by KSR in October 2025, confirming full operational status ahead of sale.
Following purchase, a comprehensive post-sale service will be carried out by KSR, including PSU re-capping, power-conditioning, calibration, and other preventive maintenance to ensure long-term reliability.

During recent maintenance, a new set of front-panel struts was fitted — a known improvement over the original design — providing greater stability and a fully adjustable playing angle.

This post-sale service is included in the price, ensuring that the instrument leaves RL Music performing at its absolute best.

Provenance

Brokered on behalf of a UK client, this Wave has remained in the UK since 2009, when the current owner acquired it from another UK seller. It has spent the last sixteen years in a private home-studio environment and has been meticulously cared for throughout.

Technical Overview

• Polyphony: 16 voices (expandable to 48)
• Oscillators: 2 digital wavetable oscillators + noise source per voice, with user-editable waves and FM-assisted UPAWs
• Filters/VCAs: Per-voice CEM3387 analogue section — 24 dB/oct low-pass + 12 dB/oct high-pass (BP configuration possible)
• Modulation: 2 LFOs + 4 multi-stage envelopes per voice for extensive modulation and wavescanning
• Multitimbrality: Up to 8 parts simultaneously
• Operating System: OS 1.8 – 1.911
• I/O: Standard factory MIDI and audio configuration

These specifications confirm the Wave’s position as one of the most flexible and sonically distinctive hybrid synthesizers ever made.

Unique Features

HxC Floppy-Drive Emulator — Installed in 2022, this modern SD-card-based replacement for the original 3.5″ floppy mechanism preserves the Wave’s appearance while vastly improving reliability. The supplied SD card includes multiple sound banks — notably the Drew Neumann set — and can be managed easily on any computer.

Shadow Black Edition Finish — Produced toward the end of Waldorf’s manufacturing run circa 1995, the Shadow Edition features a rare anthracite-black finish applied to only a small number of hand-built units. Functionally identical to the standard model, this version’s understated aesthetic underscores the Wave’s industrial design elegance and makes it particularly desirable among enthusiasts of high-end hybrid synthesis.

Accessories

This Waldorf Wave is supplied with:

• a Brand new IEC Power-Cable (UK 3-pin plug type)
• SD card with sound banks for the HxC system

Coming into stock: February 2024.

Servicing Status: Serviced Feb 2024.

Remarks: This Jupiter 6 (serial # 333020) was purchased by our client some years ago and is only ever used in the home.  The cosmetic condition is excellent, and the whole synth only shows light indications of use with some marks to the panels, which we hope the photos provided will show, but this is a high-quality 40 years old vintage instrument.

The Jupiter 6 has been a hugely popular polysynth since it arrived in 1983. It offers aficionados that beautiful vintage polyphonic analogue Roland sound for a very reasonable cost compared to its sibling, the Jupiter 8.  Prices for these models in recent years have seen a significant uplift as vintage polysynths are getting rarer and rarer to find in good condition.

Our client, the owner of the synth, purchased it in 2005 from a UK seller, and this being a 240V machine would suggest it’s always been in the UK, so not an import. The JP6 has never been gigged, and the cosmetic condition stands as a testament to it being exceptionally well cared for throughout its 40 years since manufacture. 

This JP6 has the hugely popular Europa Modification implemented, which expands the capability of this already superb vintage polysynth; we also have printed copies of the Europa User manuals, which we will supply upon sale to the new owner. Additionally, the original aluminium end-cheeks have been overlayed with retro-style hardwood wood pieces, which are in excellent shape.  This ‘bolt-on’ cosmetic mod can be removed if unwanted, but it’s something we have seen on a few JP6, and it either adds or subtracts to the synth, which depends on your viewpoint. 

The Jupiter 6 is a professional-grade vintage instrument that’s only ever going to become more sought after and rarer, so here is your opportunity to buy a beautiful condition example, fresh from the hands of a master synth-tech (Kent Spong) and fully guaranteed by RL Music.

This Jupiter 6 is sold through RL Music with a 3-month warranty and operates on EU 220V~240V, and is supplied with an IEC power cable (UK 3-pin type) and the flight case pictured.

Packing & Shipping: 

We can ship this JP6 worldwide, although the packing, shipping & insurance costs are not included in the sale price below, so they are subject to quotation.  The synth s located with us in Reading, so you are welcome to collect if from us if you prefer.

There may be short delays in getting the packaging materials produced for shipping as they are custom ordered for the specific dimensions of each instrument.  We are happy to discuss your requirements, so please email us if you have any questions about the logistics and/or need a quote.

Price: £5,900 GBP

Estate Sale • Restored, Professionally Serviced & in Excellent Condition

Overview

We are delighted to present this Roland Jupiter-6, an exceptional example of one of the most capable and forward-thinking analogue polysynths of the early 1980s.
Released in 1983 as the younger sibling to the legendary Jupiter-8, the Jupiter-6 carved its own legacy through a distinctive sound character — punchier, slightly edgier, and more versatile — paired with one of the first truly integrated MIDI systems in a professional synthesizer.

With six voices of dual-oscillator analogue power, multi-mode filters, and a richly programmable modulation structure, the Jupiter-6 offers an extraordinary sonic range: from crystalline pads and resonant sweeps to cutting leads and deep, rubbery basses. Its cross-modulation and oscillator-sync capabilities lend it a dynamic, expressive tone that continues to captivate musicians and sound designers.

The Jupiter-6 occupies a unique space in Roland’s history — a bridge between the lush Jupiter-8 and the digitally controlled era that followed.
Equally celebrated by collectors, producers, and synth enthusiasts, it remains a cornerstone of vintage analogue synthesis and an instrument of genuine creative inspiration.

This example is now offered from a private estate.

Condition

This Roland Jupiter-6 is presented in excellent condition, graded 9/10 under RL Music’s professional evaluation system.
The front panel, controls, and chassis are all in outstanding shape, with only minor evidence of age and use. The silkscreening remains sharp, the sliders and switches feel precise, and the instrument performs flawlessly.
Internally, it remains clean and original, showing no evidence of modification.

Servicing & Restoration

This Jupiter-6 was fully serviced by Kent Spong at KSR (Kent Spong Restorations) in March 2025, ensuring optimal calibration, reliability, and performance across all functions.
The service included power-supply checks, key-bed cleaning, tuning calibration, and full verification of the modulation and MIDI systems.

This instrument is now presented in excellent working order and ready for immediate use.

Provenance

This Roland Jupiter-6 is offered as part of an estate sale, handled by RL Music on behalf of the family of the late owner.
The instrument’s prior ownership history is not fully documented, but it has clearly been well cared for and remains in excellent condition.
Its verified service record and authentic originality make it a particularly desirable example.

Accessories

This Jupiter-6 is supplied with:

• An IEC power-socket adapter, allowing a standard 3-pin IEC cable to connect to the original Roland 2-pin power inlet
• A brand-new IEC power cable

No other accessories or documents are included.

Servicing Status: KSR will carry out a full service of this CS-70M post-sale.

Remarks: 

This was one of those ‘time capsule’ moments when the owner of the CS-70M turned up with the instrument contained in its original retail packaging and revealed the best condition example I have ever seen in 22 years as a specialist vintage synth dealer. This CS-70M was purchased new by my Client on 25th February 1983. We have an image of the original sales invoice from 1983 (kept confidential but will be supplied to the new owner), along with all the original documentation, so the Owners Manual, Service Manual and the colour-printed Yamaha Sales Brochure for the CS070M (all pictured below).

The CS-70M has for many people been overlooked, overshadowed by its bigger brother – the CS80, but this instrument has ascended in popularity among aficionados, and we know this synth is highly sought after by those who truly appreciate it.

6 Voice, dual-channel (stereo), aftertouch, 30 memories, ring-mod, chorus & Leslie effects, lowpass, high-pass, and bandpass VCF, fully programmable and with a 4-channel polyphonic sequencer etc.

Those in the know will already tell you that this is one of the finest hybrid analogue polysynths ever made and a work of audio art in its own right.  It shares most of the same technology as the CS80 and many of the characteristics and tonal qualities as well. The big ‘plus’ over the CS-80 is the digital auto-tune facility that snaps the voice cards into tune upon powering up the synth.  These models do not suffer from any wayward tuning issues, so this was a step-change for Yamaha when this hybrid polysynth hit the market, of that over the CS-80 and its pure analogue foibles at least.

There are a few demos on YouTube of these but we like this rather ambient-noodling one from the Channel of MoreAnalog as it demonstrates nicely how the CS70M has that beautiful ambient CS80 vibe we love about this synth: 

https://youtu.be/1_jy9ERBTPs

Background:

As mentioned above, this is a remarkable single-owner example that perfectly meets all the criteria to be a fine collector’s item, as well as a usable musical instrument. This is a complete factory stock survivor machine, so has not been retrofitted with MIDI, and no holes have been drilled into its pristine case, so this lacks MIDI, but once you buy it then you can decide if that’s important to you to have implemented or if you prefer to retain its originality and collectable value by keeping it original.

The serial number for this CS-70M is: 1654

Condition:

The cosmetic condition of this example is exemplary with no perceivable ageing to the control surfaces. The faux wood laminate cabinet is in outstanding condition, unmarked, We would grade this as in Excellent condition – 10 out of 10 cosmetically…really.

All the original controls, slider-caps and knobs are present and everything still looks sharp and clean.  We have all the original manuals and other documentation as mentioned above. There is even the small rubber cover for the Keycode port on the rear panel still in place.

Operational Condition:

Operationally, our trusted and world-renowned ‘Yamaha CS Series restoration expert – Kent Spong of KSR, has already carried out a full service on the CS70M, so it’s 100% perfectly working and ready for its new owner now.  Servicing included re-capping the PSU, full system-wide test and calibrations and cleaning of sliders and pots where needed as the synth has been sat unused for some time so it did need some light attention, but we wanted a very light touch with this instrument. 

The only item that we need to report that is non-functional is the magnetic strip reader as there is a custom Yamaha IC that has failed on the reader and that part is no longer available. This is a very common problem on the CS-70M and we don’t currently have any workaround for this, so we are declaring it here so you have full knowledge when considering purchasing the instrument.

The CS-70M operates from 100V to 240V as there is a switchable PSU switch(s) on the back panel, and this Yamaha is supplied with its original & proprietary 2-pin power cable. The unit has been fully tested under UK 240V conditions at the KSR workshop.

Packing, Shipping, Insurance and Warranty: 

We can ship this CS-70M worldwide, although the packing, shipping & insurance costs are not included in the sale price below, so are subject to quotation.  As this is supplied in its original retail box, then we would have to order a custom sized export-grade cardboard carton that encompasses the OE box as well, so it will be a large and heavy.

There may be some short delays in getting the packaging materials produced for shipping as they are custom ordered for the specific dimensions of each instrument.  We are happy to discuss your requirements so please email us if you have any questions on the logistics and/or need a quote, but you are also welcome to collect it from us in person in Reading, UK.

As the instrument is being Brokered through RL Music, it will be sold with a full 3-month (return-to-dealer) warranty, covering all parts and labour.

Sales Price:  £11,990 GBP

VAT does not apply to UK buyers, however, the packing & shipping costs are subject to VAT @ 20%, should you need the goods shipped to you.

This CS-70M is now SOLD. This listing was updated on Monday 23rd December 2024 @ 10:14 GMT.

Servicing Status: KSR has already performed a full service on this JP6 in July 2022.

Remarks: This Jupiter 6 was purchased by our client some years ago and is only ever used in the home.  The cosmetic condition is excellent, and the whole synth only shows very light indications of use & ware – this is remarkable for a keyboard nearly 40 years old!  

The Jupiter 6 has been a hugely popular polysynth since its arrival in 1983 and offers aficionados that beautiful vintage polyphonic analogue Roland sound for a very reasonable cost, certainly when compared to its sibling, the Jupiter 8.  Prices for these models in recent years have seen a significant uplift as vintage polysynths are getting rarer and rarer to find in good condition, let alone the condition of this example we have available.

This JP6 has not had any modifications to its factory spec, which our client said was an early production version (sn #343786).  This is often important for buyers who prefer to either leave them as stock or upgrade them according to their own needs & budget, depending on what retrofit solutions may be available in the marketplace.

The Jupiter 6 is a professional-grade vintage instrument that’s only ever going to become more sought after and rarer, so here is your opportunity to buy a beautiful condition example, fresh from the hands of a master synth restorer (Kent Spong), and fully guaranteed by RL Music.

Full service by KSR was carried out in December 2021, so this CS-70M is ready for sale & shipping now!

Remarks: 

We’re excited to be able to get hold of this really super condition CS-70M as they really are quite magnificent synths for a whole number of reasons.  These were proper old-school designed hybrid digital/analogue systems made between 1981 and 1984, and it wasn’t long after these came out that the DX7 was introduced, which seems hard to believe really.

The CS-70M has for many people been overlooked, overshadowed by its bigger brother – the CS80, but this instrument has ascended in popularity among aficionados, and we know this synth is highly sought after by those who truly appreciate it.

6 Voice, dual-channel (stereo), aftertouch, 30 memories, ring-mod, chorus & Leslie effects, lowpass, high-pass, and bandpass VCF, fully programmable and with a 4 channel polyphonic sequencer etc.

Those in the know will already tell you that this is one of the finest analogue polys ever made and a work of audio art in its own right.  It shares most of the same technology as the CS80 and many of the characteristics and tonal qualities as well. The big ‘plus’ over the CS-80 is the digital auto-tune facility that snaps the voice cards into tune upon powering up the synth.  These models do not suffer from any wayward tuning issues, so this was a step-change for Yamaha when this hybrid polysynth hit the market, of that over the CS-80 and its pure analogue foibles at least.

There are a few demos on YT of these but we like this rather ambient-noodling one from ‘MoreAnalog’ because it demonstrates nicely how the CS70M has the CS80 vibe we are talking about: 

https://youtu.be/1_jy9ERBTPs

Background:

We purchased this CS-70M from a UK collector who had owned it for over 20 years at his home, where the synth has been in regular use. The Kenton MIDI was retro-fitted to this CS70M before the seller purchased it back in the 90s, but it’s a welcome addition and really helps integrate the Yamaha into a modern studio environment.  The synth is not supplied with the consumable magnetic storage strips eluded to in the user manual.

Condition:

The cosmetic condition of this example is extremely good overall with only light user wear & natural ageing to the control surfaces. The faux wood laminate cabinet is in very good order with only a couple of spots where this has been worn.  We would grade this as “very good original condition – 8.5 out of 10 cosmetically.’

All the original controls, slider-caps, knobs are intact and everything still looks sharp and clean.  We don’t have any accessories with this, or an original user manual, but we can supply one in PDF format for the new owner.

We are Brokering these instruments for and on behalf of our UK Client.

Came into stock: Available from RL Music from February 2020.

Servicing Status: A health-check has been carried out by KSR but we will have both Both Matrix 6R fully serviced as a priority once the sale has been completed.

Remarks: We are brokering these good condition examples for a UK client who has owned them for 20+ years. 

 The Matrix 6R was one of the last of models produced by Oberheim during the late 1980s that still offered the warmth of the famous Matrix 12/Xpander sound though its analogue filters, and was a hybrid, so digital in control.  An extremely versatile machine with complex programming facilities, offering 6 voice polyphony (2 DCO per voice), LPF, 2 VCA, 2 LFO, 2-part multitimbral and patch-memory of course.

It’s a nice sounding instrument, and a very cheap way to dial into that ‘Matrix/Xpander’ sound at a fraction of the cost.

We’ve taken some photo’s from all angles so you can see how the racks look.  There are some cosmetic issues with tape reside & wear, and one of the heat-grills has taken a knock, but all of this is hidden from view once the synths are racked, or facing the user.

The rack-eared unit us a UK/EU voltage 230V unit.

The non-rack-Eared unit us a US voltage 120V unit. We can provide a step-down transformer if needed (subject to your requirements & quotation).

Both Matrix 6R sold through RL Music come with a 3-month warranty and can be shipped worldwide.

Demos are available by appointment only.

<em>As with all Brokered Sales, the Korg MS20 will be fully serviced post-sale before it’s sent to its new owner. We do this to ensure that the instrument leaves us in perfect operational condition, and it is backed up by our full warranty to give the new owner complete peace of mind. The servicing is carried out as a priority once the sale has been completed, and although it will delay shipping/delivery by a short time, we know from experience that customers are happy to wait.</em>

Price: Rack-eared example = £790 GBP.

Price: Non-racked-eared example = £750 GBP

Availability: Both Matrix 6R are no longer available for sale – updated as of 19th March 2020.

We are Brokering this EML-101 for a UK customer.

Came into stock: October 2019.

Restoration Status: KSR has already health-checked this pre-restored instrument and gave a 100% pass, so it’s ready for sale now.

Remarks: A super condition example of a rare machine to see available for sale these days and in the scheme of things, not all that well known either.  To any aficionado of vintage analogue synthesisers, Electronic Music Laboratories involvement with music instrument goes back to the late 1960s, and much like the British EMS products, share a similar boutique feel to them, was sold to education facilities (universities and schools etc.) and oozes charter and uniqueness.  

The EML-101 was the third product to come out of Connecticut, in the USA, from 1972 and much like the Arp 2600, is 4 x VCO, 3 x VCF semi-modular system that offers duo phonic operation and patchable break-out to really dig into the sound design possibilities.  The architecture of the EML differs from what Arp and Moog were doing in their designs at that time as it uses op-amps to deliver much from stability in tuning, and reliability in general.

This particular example has been subjected to a sympathetic restoration, having a beautifully made wood cabinet & catches/handles for the keyboard and main synth.  The main control panel was left original, so shows a natural patina for its age, retaining that vintage feel and look.  Internally, the circuits are all in outstanding condition, being well mounted internally and of course, the whole system is fully operational.  The keyboard has had new bushes fitted and plays beautifully.  The mains transformer has been upgraded to a high-quality toroidal one with a very professionally installed voltage rectifier circuit. It operates on 220~240V rather than the original US voltage – this has made the 101 very stable and it has a very low noise floor. Surprisingly so for such an old instrument (47 years at most).

Our client, the owner, did not commission the restoration, so we don’t have any information on who did the work, but it’s of the very highest standard and certainly equal to anything we could have achieved if it had been one of our own projects.

Our client purchased the EML-101 from a Swedish collector/musician about 3 years ago, so it’s not been in his possession all that long, but they told us that It is an early version as it doesn’t have the ‘SEQ IN’ socket on the patch-bay, but has the ‘CM2’ out socket.

Kent at KSR has given a full health-check of the EML-101 and told us ‘it was perfect’ so there were no service items to carry out.  This verifies what our client told us as well, so we’re confident this is ready for sale and shipping now.

As mentioned above, the EML-101 runs on 220~240V, sold with a full 3-month warranty and a copy of the owners manual will be supplied (PDF) as well.

Price: £3,200 GBP.

Availability: This EML-101 is now SOLD, as at 10th March 2020.

Came into stock:  Available from RL Music as at 13th July 2018.

Restoration Status: A full service by KSR has already been carried out (completed in July 2018), so this Jupiter 6 is ready for sale now.

Remarks: This Jupiter 6 was purchased new by our client in the early 1980s, and only ever used in the home. The cosmetic condition is outstanding and the whole synth only shows very light indications of use & ware – this is remarkable for a keyboard over 35 years old! We would grade this as a 9 out of 10 cosmetically, Collector-Grade!

The Jupiter 6 has been a hugely popular polysynth since its arrival in 1983 and offers aficionados that beautiful vintage polyphonic analogue Roland sound for a very reasonable cost, certainly when compared to its sibling, the Jupiter 8. Prices for these models in recent years has seen a significant uplift as vintage polysynths are getting more and more rare to find in good condition, let alone the condition of this example we have available.

This JP6 has not had any modifications to its factory spec. This is often important for buyers who prefer to either leave them as stock or upgrade them according to their own needs & budget, depending on what retrofit solutions may be available in the marketplace.

The Jupiter 6 is a professional-grade vintage instrument that’s only ever going to become more sought after and rarer, so here is your opportunity to buy a beautiful condition example, fresh from the hands of a master synth restorer (Kent Spong), and fully guaranteed by RL Music.

Runs on EU 220V or 110V (switchable) and is supplied with the original Roland owners manual.

Price: £3390 GBP.

Availability: This Roland Jupiter 6 is now SOLD, as at 14th May 2019.

We are Brokering this instrument for and on behalf of our customer

Came into stock: September 2017.

Restoration Status: A full service by KSR has already been carried out (completed on 11th October 2017), so this CS70M is ready for sale now.

Remarks: We’re excited to be able to get hold of this really lovely condition CS70M as they really are quite magnificent synths for a whole number of reasons. These were proper old-school designed hybrid digital/analogue systems made between 1981 and 1984, and it wasn’t long after these came out that the DX7 was introduced, which seems hard to believe really.

The CS70M has for many people been overlooked, or perhaps overshadowed by it’s bigger brother – the CS80, but this instrument has ascended in popularity among aficionados, and we know this synth is highly sought after by those who truly appreciate it.

6 Voice, dual channel (stereo), aftertouch, 30 memories, ring-mod, chorus & Leslie effects, lowpass, highpass, and bandpass VCF, fully programmable and with a 4 channel polyphonic sequencer etc.

Those in the know will already tell you that this is one of the finest analogue polys ever made and a work of audio art in its own right. It shares most of the same technology as the CS80 and many of the characteristics and tonal qualities as well. The other big ‘Hello’ is also the fact you can get really close to the CS80 sound for a lot less money…this makes it even more appealing considering the price.

The UK owner we are selling this magnificent machine for has owned it for over a decade and the synth has been in regular use during that time, with periodic maintenance carried out to keep it in top workmen order. MIDI has already been retrofitted to this CS70M, which adds a lot of value when integrating into a modern studio setup.

The cosmetic condition of this example is extremely good overall with only light user wear & natural ageing to the control surfaces. The faux wood laminate cabinet it in very good order with only a couple of spots where this has been worn. We would grade this is “very good original condition – 8.5 out of 10 cosmetically.’

Operationally, our trusted ‘Yamaha CS Series’ restoration experts – KSR have already carried out a full service on the CS70M, so it’s 100% perfectly working and ready for its new owner.

There are a few demos on YT of these but we like this rather ambient-noodling one from ‘MoreAnalog’ because it demonstrates nicely how the CS70M has the CS80 vibe we are talking about: https://youtu.be/1_jy9ERBTPs

This CS70M is sold through RL Music with a 3-month warranty and can operate on US 110V or EU 220V. Also, we can supply a PDF photocopy of the user manual, and of course, the proprietary Yamaha power-cable.

Restoration Status: KSR to service once sold, and prior to shipping to the new owner.

Remarks: We’re excited to be able to get hold of this very nice condition CS70M (with Kenton MIDI) as they really are quite magnificent synths for a whole number of reasons. These were proper old-school designed hybrid digital/analogue systems made between 1981 and 1984, and it wasn’t long after these came out that the DX7 was introduced, which seems hard to believe really.

The other big ‘Hello’ is also the fact you can get really close to the CS80 sound for a lot less money…this makes it even more appealing considering the price.

The owner we are selling this magnificent machine for has owned it since 1990 (original sales receipt supplied – bought from from a music dealer in Bath), and had only ever used it at home since. The owner had Kenton fit MIDI to it in 1992 (sales receipt also supplied)

The cosmetic condition of this example is very good overall but there are signs of user wear & natural ageing to the front panel paint, and along the rear-panel in places. The faux wood laminate cabinet it in very good order with only a couple of spots where this has been worn. The pictures we have taken are honest and represent the condition well, so we grade this is ‘good original condition – 7.5 out of 10 cosmetically.’ It’s not a museum piece for sure, but if it’s the sound that’s important to you then it will deliver this beautifully.
