Roland Jupiter 6

posted by rlawson3

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.

Oberheim Xpander

posted by rlawson3

Restored, Professionally Owned & in Excellent Condition

Overview

We are delighted to present this Oberheim Xpander, a superb example of one of the most sophisticated analogue polysynths ever created.
Designed by Tom Oberheim’s team during the golden era of American analogue innovation, the Xpander represents the pinnacle of Oberheim engineering — a true hybrid masterpiece that marries the lush, organic depth of analogue oscillators with one of the most flexible modulation architectures ever implemented in a MIDI-equipped synthesizer.

Released in 1984, the Xpander was a technological tour de force, featuring six discrete voices, each effectively a complete monosynth, coupled to an extensive modulation matrix and multi-mode filters. Its sound palette remains legendary — capable of producing rich, evolving textures, weighty basses, and intricate soundscapes that continue to inspire composers, producers, and collectors alike.

Equally admired by collectors, studio professionals, musicians, and synth enthusiasts, the Xpander endures as one of the most musically rewarding and technically advanced analogue synthesizers ever made.

This example has been professionally owned and carefully preserved for nearly three decades.

Condition

This Oberheim Xpander is presented in excellent condition, graded 9/10 under RL Music’s in-house professional evaluation system, applied to all collector-grade instruments to ensure transparency and confidence for discerning buyers.
The control surface, panel graphics, and end cheeks all remain in outstanding shape with only the lightest evidence of use. The display is bright, the encoder actions smooth, and all functions perform exactly as they should.
Internally, this unit is pristine — a testament to its low-use studio life and careful custodianship. The wood end-cheeks do have some marks on them in places, which we would consider to be normal wear for a 40+ year old portable synthesizer.

Servicing & Restoration

This instrument was fully serviced by Ben Rossborough at Cyberwave EMS in March 2025, ensuring optimal calibration and long-term reliability.
Upon its arrival at RL Music in April 2025, the Xpander underwent a comprehensive inspection and assessment by Kent Spong at KSR (Kent Spong Restorations), who confirmed its exceptional internal condition and flawless operational status.

This Xpander requires no further work and is presented in ready-to-play, collector-grade condition.

Provenance

Our client, a professional musician best known as the live programmer for The Chemical Brothers, acquired this Xpander from a specialist dealer in Tokyo in 1997, while on tour with the band.
The instrument was never taken on the road and has remained in our client’s private studio ever since — a stable, climate-controlled environment where it has been lovingly maintained and occasionally featured in studio productions.

Notably, this particular Xpander can be heard on several releases from the Mancunian house label Ten Lovers Music, giving it an appealing musical provenance for those who value authentic studio lineage.

Accessories

This Xpander is supplied with:

A custom-made aluminium flight-case
The original Japanese and English user manuals
The original factory patch sheet

Price & Availability

£4,500 GBP — available for sale now.

As this is a brokered sale, no VAT is applicable to UK buyers. International buyers are responsible for any import duties or taxes levied in their respective countries.

The instrument will be supplied fully tested, carefully packaged, and prepared to RL Music standards — meaning it has been professionally inspected, fully quality-controlled, and presented to the highest collector-grade specification to ensure authenticity, reliability, and buyer confidence.

Increasingly sought-after on the international market, examples of this calibre represent not only exceptional instruments but also sound long-term investments in analogue heritage.

Payment

Due to the high value, we accept bank transfer only (UK Faster Payments / CHAPS or international wire).
Full payment details will be provided on the invoice.

Packing & Shipping

We ship worldwide. Packing, shipping, and insurance are not included in the sale price and are quoted upon request.

Korg PS-3200 –...

posted by rlawson3

Servicing Status

KSR has undertaken an extensive cosmetic and operational restoration of this PS-3200, a project spanning several years but largely completed by the end of 2024 — thanks to the exceptional work of Kent Spong of KSR. The Korg has been held in our secure facility throughout 2025, so post-sale, we will have the instrument and all accessories fully checked before shipping or delivering to the new owner. This process will add approximately 10 to 14 days to the post-sale completion time.

Remarks

We have decided to offer for sale our complete Korg PS-3200 System, which forms part of the RL Music Vintage Synthesizer Collection. Over the last 22 years, we’ve retained a small number of the finest vintage synthesizers to pass through our hands — instruments we found particularly inspiring or significant. This PS-3200 is one such example and has been the subject of a full and detailed cosmetic and operational restoration by our trusted vintage synth technician, Kent Spong of KSR.

It is generally accepted that Korg produced only around 200 units of the PS-3200, although the exact number is difficult to verify. Whether 100 or 500 were made, production was certainly very limited, making this an exceptionally rare, hand-built instrument by any measure.

Due to the rarity and individual nature of instruments like this, we’ve taken great care to provide a comprehensive and honest description of this PS-3200. We encourage any prospective buyer to ensure they have all the information needed to make an informed purchase decision — and of course, we are happy to answer any questions directly.

Provenance

We purchased this PS-3200 from a UK seller (an experienced user) in 2015 and collected it personally from their studio in the South of England. At the time, the instrument was fully working but had not been professionally serviced, so we decided to retain it within our PS-series collection — completing the full lineup — and plan its restoration later.

The overall condition was original and very good but showing signs of cosmetic age typical for a 35+-year-old synthesizer. We therefore elected to undertake a full operational and cosmetic restoration. While the market for highly restored vintage synths has cooled in recent years — as values for unrestored examples have climbed — our motivation for this restoration was personal rather than commercial, as the PS-3200 has always been part of our private collection.

System Configuration

PS-3200 Main Frame
PS-3010 Keyboard Controller
PS-3001 Interconnect Cable
PS-3030 Remote
PS-3001 Interconnect Cable (second)
PS-3040 Dual Pedal
Kenton MIDI Retrofit Kit fitted

This particular PS-3200 includes the extremely rare PS-3030 Remote, a unique device allowing live performers access to the patch memories — a groundbreaking feature for 1978.

The PS-3040 and second PS-3001 cable were sourced later from private collections, completing the top-spec configuration that Korg could have supplied in the late 1970s.

A brand-new Kenton MIDI retrofit kit was purchased and professionally installed by KSR during restoration.

Historical Context

The Korg PS-3200 is a landmark in the evolution of analogue polyphonic synthesizers. Released in 1978 as part of Korg’s PS (Polyphonic Synthesizer) series — alongside the PS-3100 and PS-3300 — it combined 48-note polyphony, programmable presets, and unison detuning, placing it among the most technologically advanced synths of its era.

Built entirely by hand in very limited numbers, the PS-3200 was aimed at professional musicians and studios, and its cost placed it firmly in the high-end market. Its rich, layered analogue tone made it a favourite among those who could afford it, and today it remains one of the most collectible and musically significant instruments in Korg’s history.

About Restoration & Servicing

This PS-3200 has undergone what we term a Total Restoration — a complete operational and cosmetic overhaul. New solid-walnut cabinets were crafted by Ross Lamond (Lamond Design) for the mainframe, PS-3010 Keyboard Controller, and PS-3030 Remote. The original faux-wood cabinets were provided to Ross as reference for accurate reproduction. The result is visually stunning and structurally far superior to the original.

Restoration work undertaken includes

Complete disassembly of all control surfaces; all potentiometers and jack sockets removed and replaced.
Mainframe, PS-3010, and PS-3030 panels professionally powder-coated.
Custom screen printing using artwork commissioned and funded by RL Music.
New Switchcraft ¼-inch jack sockets throughout.
New power socket on the mainframe control panel.
Complete re-capping of the PS-3200, including PSU.
Cleaning and treatment of all PCB edge connectors.
Installation of Kenton MIDI Retrofit Kit.
Full system testing, calibration, and final assembly by KSR.

The edge connectors were found to be in excellent condition and were retained.

While KSR does not issue formal restoration reports, the scale and quality of this work are exceptional — the instrument now presents and performs closer to a brand-new PS-3200 than any unrestored example we’ve encountered. The project spanned several years, with hundreds of hours of expert labour and thousands of pounds invested.

This PS-3200 features the factory switchable power supply (100V / 110V / 220V) and is currently configured for 220V UK operation.

Handy Links

Packing & Shipping

We can ship worldwide. Packing, shipping, and insurance are not included in the sale price and are quoted separately.

Our intention is to have the PS-3200 system professionally packaged in custom-sized, export-grade boxes designed specifically for its components (minimum two boxes). Palletisation is not expected to be necessary. All consignments are fully insured for the sale value, and insurance documentation will be provided.

If requested, PCBs can be removed and packed separately, though this adds labour and material costs and may affect warranty terms.

UK buyers are welcome to collect the instrument from us in Reading, Berkshire, or we may be able to arrange personal delivery subject to location and quotation.

Sales Price

£25,000 GBP

As this Korg PS-3200 is owned by RL Music, VAT is applicable on the sale to UK buyers. Packing and shipping are also subject to VAT at 20% if required.

Payment

Due to the high value, payment is accepted by bank transfer only.
International wire transfer is accepted; full details will be provided on invoice.

Yamaha CS-70M

posted by rlawson3

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

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.

Availability:

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

Oberheim Xpander

posted by rlawson3

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

Coming into stock: Came into stock in May 2024.

Servicing Status: KSR have carried out a service on this Xpander in May 2024.

Remarks: Much has been written on these incredible synthesizers and it’s understandable when you use them as they really can deliver a thick analogue wall of sound, and are perfect pad and brass sources just for starters.

The Xpander lineage includes the Matrix 6 and 12 and is a fully midi configured, 6 voice Polysynth – an excellent addition to any analogue set-up and has to be heard to be believed. he Xpander offers a deep programmable architecture for those of you into tweaking but can also be a very user-friendly hands-on preset machine. This means they sit between that digital and analogue medium perfectly and are arguably the best of the hybrid technology of the early to mid-1980s.

About This Xpander:

This example is a USA built unit that works perfectly, and as mentioned above, has just been fully serviced by KSR. The cosmetic condition is all original and absolutely first class, excellent, as you can see from the pictures below, with barely any perceptible marks or signs of use, which is quite remarkable for a 40+ year old music instrument.

The owner purchased a Star Dust cover for it a few years ago and it is supplied with the synth on-sale. The cover is well used and has done a fantastic job protecting the instrument.

We are Brokering this Xpander for a private owner whom imported from the USA in 2016. It has only ever been used in a home studio environment since.

The Xpander runs on US115~230V (switchable), is supplied with an IEC cable with UK-plug fitted and photocopy of the June 1984 user manual by Daniel Soferan. In addition, an original factory presets cassette is also supplied.

Packing & Shipping:

We can ship this Xpander worldwide, although the packing, shipping & insurance costs are not included in the sale price below, so they are subject to quotation. The synth is located with us in Reading, so you are welcome to collect it 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: £4,150 GBP

As this is a brokered sale, VAT does not apply to UK buyers. However, packing & shipping/insurance is subject to VAT @ 20% should you need the goods shipped.

Availability:

This Xpander is now SOLD. This listing was updated on 4th August 2024 @ 10:02 GMT.

Roland Jupiter 6 Eur...

posted by rlawson3

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

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

As this is a brokered sale, VAT does not apply to UK buyers. However, packing & shipping/insurance is subject to VAT @ 20% should you need the goods shipped.

Juno 60 + JSQ-60

posted by rlawson3

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

Servicing Status: KSR has already carried out a full service on this in July 2023.

Remarks: This Roland Juno 60, JSQ-60 and Boss KM-60 were purchased by our client brand new (from our Client’s memory) around 1983 from a music shop based in Chelmsford, and all three items have only ever been used in the home. The cosmetic condition is outstanding for all three machines, pristine and almost (if not) as-new condition. These are usable vintage instruments, so they have intrinsic value as such but the condition of this collection more than qualifies as something a collector would cherish.

We are going to try and sell this collection as a bundle for two reasons;

Firstly as they were all bought together and have been used together for 40 years, so it would be ideal to not split them up if possible.

Secondly, as these actually all make excellent partners in terms of operating and mixing, especially with that stunning condition analogue keyboard mixer, the KM-60

The summary prices below offer a bundle price or the option to buy separately.

The Juno 60

The design of the Juno 60 has to be one of the best Roland ever produced in terms of simplicity of sound design and warmth of character. The Juno 60 has been a ‘go-to’ synth for working musicians wanting that vintage sound for quite a while now. It kind of defies logic that a DCO synth could deliver such a lush and musical tone, and it won the hearts and minds of all synthesists who’d had the opportunity to own or play one.

This is, we feel, the cleanest all original example we have had through our business, with the buttons and keys so clean and white, it’s like looking at a brand new machine. Included in the sale is the original Roland Patch Program Data Cassette and owner’s manual.

This synth sounds and operates like all Juno 60 should, and KSR has fully serviced the synth, so it’s 100% working perfectly and good to go. Aside from the DCB Port, there is no modern MIDI retrofit to this example, but as it’s in such beautiful original condition it would be such a shame to drill holes into the pristine metal panel. Kenton still produces a Pro-DCB MIDI converter, so we would recommend going this route to maintain the originality for MIDI functionality, but if you must have a more sophisticated MIDI access then please call and speak to us about what options are available and costs etc.

The price has been agreed with our client to reflect the outstanding condition as we both recognise this to be a vastly superior quality example to what most people are trying to sell online around the world.

The Juno JSQ-60

This was Roland’s solution to a dedicated polyphonic sequencer for the Juno 60, which connects via the proprietary DCB port on the synth from a Roland sequencer. A useful 2000-step unit that’s simple to use and an effective partner for its time.

As you can see from the photos, the unit comes still contained within its original EO retail packaging. The cosmetic condition is excellent with only tiny areas showing any imperfections, and we have provided some photos below that show all angles of the sequencer so you can get a feel for it’s overall quality.

KSR has fully serviced the synth, so it’s 100% working perfectly and good to go, and we have purchased a brand new 9V DC 1A external power supply (UK model) for this, which is included in the price.

The Boss KM-60 6-Channel Analogue Mixer

A very well-known and sought-after analogue mixer that Boss produced in the late 1970s. It’s a stereo 6-channel machine that offers onboard EQ, effects send and panning, some lovely VU-meters and a beautiful aesthetic that fits perfectly with the Juno-60 and JSQ-60. There’s a lot of love for this little mixer, we used to own one back in the day so know it well and have fond memories of our ownership. Certainly, you can buy a lot more ‘mixer’ these days, but period-correct equipment has a unique appeal and the KM-60, especially in this condition, is very much collectable and only set to become more desirable as the years go by.

As you can see from the pictures, it’s is fantastic cosmetic condition with only the smallest evidence that tells you this mixer is over 40 years old.

KSR have fully serviced the mixer, cleaned all the potentiometers and jack-sockets and re-capped the PSU, so it’s 100% working perfectly. We all know that mixers impart a lot of character to the tone of the instruments used through them, and the KM-60 was produced with the Roland product set being sold at that time in mind, so the Juno-60 is the perfect partner for it. Its a trackable mixer but this example has never been used that was so is completely unblemished…stunning.

In Summary:

The Juno 60, JSQ-60 and KM-60 are all sold through RL Music with a 3-month warranty and operate on EU/UK 220v~240v.

Our client, the owner, also provided original printed copies of the Juno-60 Owners Manual and the JSQ-60 Owners Manual, although the latter shows some historic water damage to the paper.

The Juno-60 and KM-60 use a hard-wired flex that terminates to a UK-style 3-pin plug. They are able to operate within the EU without any external power-regulation transformers, although your own country-type plug would need to be fitted. The JSQ-60 operated from a brand new 9V DC 1A external power supply (UK plug-type version).

Packing & Shipping:

We can ship Juno 60, JSQ-60 and KM-60 worldwide, although the packing, shipping & insurance costs are not included in the sale price below, so are subject to quotation. 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 on the logistics and/or need a quote.

Price:

Bundle Price for all two items is = £3,500 GBP.

Individual Sales Price:

Roland Juno-60 = £3300

Roland JSQ-60 = £400

Availability: Juno 60 and JSQ-60 are now SOLD. This listing was updated on Friday 21sr March 2025 @ 06:50 GMT.

As this is a brokered sale, VAT is not applicable on the sale of any of these items to UK buyers. However, packing & shipping/insurance is subject to VAT @ 20% should you need the goods shipped to you.

Roland Jupiter 8 w/M...

posted by rlawson3

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

Coming into stock: Came into stock in February 2022.

Servicing Status: KSR have carried out a service on this Jupiter 8 in February 2023.

Remarks: A beautiful condition Roland Jupiter 8 (12bit model) – Serial Number: 161512, which has been retrofitted with a Groove MIDI kit.

We are always very happy to sell any Jupiter 8 and this one is an excellent representative example that has MIDI as well. What can we say that hasn’t already been written about the JP8…honestly, nothing new. However, we’ve seen relative values for this flagship vintage analogy poly-synth climb sharply in recent years, so they’ve become unaffordable to most people, which is a real shame.

The overall condition is excellent, with far less than he normal amount of wear we would expect to see on a synth this age, so this example has been very well cared for throughout its existence. The photos below tell the story, but even the base of this JP8 is in great shape.

We discussed the price at some length with our client and agreed keep the sale price as reasonable as is possible for this model, so we think you will find this cheaper by far than any currently available JP8 for sale in the world right now, in comparable condition, with MIDI, fully serviced and sold with a guarantee.

Our client purchased a Stardust (pictured) cover for the synth to keep it well protected, so this is supplied in the sale.

This JP8 operates on EU220~UK 220V and has a UK type 3-Pin plug fitted. We will also supply a PDF copy of the owners manual.

As the instrument is being Brokered through RL Music, it will be sold with a full 3-month warranty and we can ship worldwide.

Packing & Shipping:

We can ship this Jupiter 8 worldwide, although the packing, shipping & insurance costs are not included in the sale price below, so they are subject to quotation. The synth is located with us in Reading, so you are welcome to collect it 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: £19,710 GBP

Oberheim Xpander

posted by rlawson3

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

Coming into stock: Came into stock in February 2022.

Servicing Status: KSR have carried out a service on this Xpander in February 2023.

Remarks: Much has been written on these incredible synthesizers and it’s understandable when you use them as they really can deliver a thick analogue wall of sound, and are perfect pad and brass sources just for starters.

The Xpander lineage includes the Matrix 6 and 12 and is a fully midi configured, 6 voice Polysynth – an excellent addition to any analogue set-up and has to be heard to be believed. he Xpander offers a deep programmable architecture for those of you into tweaking but can also be a very user-friendly hands-on preset machine. This means they sit between that digital and analogue medium perfectly and are arguably the best of the hybrid technology of the early to mid-1980s.

This example is a USA built unit that works perfectly, and as mentioned above, has just been fully serviced by KSR. The cosmetic condition is excellent, as you can see from the pictures below, with only minimal wear and marks to the painted surfaces.

This Oberheim Xpander has come to us from a private owner who purchased this from new in 1986, so it’s a single owner machine.

The Xpander runs on US115~230V (switchable), is supplied with an IEC cable with UK-plug fitted and photocopy of the June 1984 user manual by Daniel Soferan. In addition, an original factory presets cassette is also supplied.

Packing & Shipping:

We can ship this Xpander worldwide, although the packing, shipping & insurance costs are not included in the sale price below, so they are subject to quotation. The synth is located with us in Reading, so you are welcome to collect it 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: £4,200 GBP

This Xpander is now SOLD. This listing was updated on Thursday 9th March 2023 @ 09:06 GMT.

Roland MKS-80

posted by rlawson3

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

Coming into stock: Came into stock in February 2022.

Servicing Status: KSR have carried out a service on this MKS-80 in February 2023.

Remarks: The classic rack polysynth combo is considered by many enthusiasts to be one of the best sounding vintage analogue rack-synths ever.

The MKS-80 Super Jupiter is powerful velocity and pressure sensitive 8 voice/16 VCO analogue polysynth with that big vintage Roland sound, and a stack of modulation and editing facilities. The accompanying MPG80 controller is an essential piece of kit if you want to really dig down into the programming and open up the synth’s capabilities, and is a joy to use.

This unit (Serial #633634) is the much sought after Rev.5 version of the MKS-80 (see PCB picture below) featuring the Roland IR3R03 VCO and VCF/VCA IR3R05 chipset, amongst other architectural differences to the earlier versions. Many say the Rev.5 comes closest to sounding like the Jupiter 8, but we’ll leave that debate to the internet to continue.

The cosmetic condition of this MKS-80 is outstanding, with only very light markings in evidence that this rack-synth has been very well looked after by our Client, whom has owned this instrument around 22 years, and only ever used in his home.

The MKS-80 work perfectly and contains many of their original patches, and they’re simple to set up in your studio and get to work with straight out of the box.

This example is a EU220V~UK240V machine, and is supplied with a photo-copy of the user manual and an IEC cable with UK-plug fitted.

Packing & Shipping:

We can ship this MKS-80 worldwide, although the packing, shipping & insurance costs are not included in the sale price below, so they are subject to quotation. The synth is located with us in Reading, so you are welcome to collect it 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.

Yamaha CS-80

posted by rlawson3

We are Brokering this CS-80 for and on behalf of our UK client.

Came into stock: Came into stock in July 2022.

Service Status: Full service by Mr CS80 himself, Kent Spong of KSR , was carried out in July 2022.

Remarks:

A rare opportunity to buy the instrument that Vangelis made his own and is largely recognised as the finest analogue polysynth ever produced, the Yamaha CS-80.

Background:

This CS80 we are offering for sale comes to us for Brokering from a private owner who had sent the instrument to KSR directly for a full service to ensure it’s fully operational and ready for us to sell for them. The serial number (#1107) tells us this is an earlier production version, so will date back to around 1978.

Kent at KSR told us that he had this actual CS-80 in for a full operational refurbishment several years ago, so it’s had all the critical updates done for stability and longevity. The service that’s just been carried out has mainly focussed on calibrations and a replacement Key-Assigner IC. We fully tested the CS-80 at the KSR workshop on 11th August and can attest to it being 100% perfectly working – it’s got a lovely tone, with it being an earlier production model.

Most CS-80 have lost their ‘pedals, music stand and legs’ over the years, so we cannot supply these original accessories to the new owner, and like so many, this example for sale does not have most of these either, although it is supplied with a Yamaha branded sustain pedal (pictured). This CS-80 does not have its original lid either. It will come supplies with an original Yamaha CS-80 service manual, which is actually a folder full of original schematics. Lastly, the current owner has included an historic bill of sale that’s survived with this instrument dated from 1988, which rather amusingly priced the CS-80 at £325, so a nice piece of provenance at least.

If MIDI is required on the CS-80, then we can normally supply and install the Kenton Midi retrofit Kits for an additional charge, so please ask us for a quote to supply and install this for you. Please note that any modifications like fitting MIDI are only carried out after the synth has been purchased in full.

This CS-80 operates on EU220V but can be converted to US110V if required by Kent at KSR (subject to quotation).

Condition:

The overall cosmetic condition of this CS-80 is good, but it does show signs of wear to the control surfaces and tolex, as we would expect from a 44-year-old instrument, and we hope the pictures we have provided with this listing give you a good feel for how it presents. Most importantly, it’s working perfectly, so it would serve as a superb studio machine, and because of the world-renowned skills of Kent at KSR with this model, he’s able to ‘dial in’ the tuning of the VCO to work optimally for this specific machine. This CS-80 has not had any modifications done to it, so it’s a completely original example.

With Kent’s agreement, we took a picture of him with the CS-80. As many of you will know, Kent Spong is recognised worldwide as one of the top CS-80 specialist technicians, so you could not have a more qualified person to set up this synth and support it. Just Google ‘Kent Spong and CS-80’, and you will see that his reputation is well deserved where the CS-80 is concerned, and of course, just about any make and model of vintage synth.

Warranty provided on this CS80:

The CS80 is sold with a 3-month warranty as standard, which covers all parts and labour and telephone/Skype technical support from KSR. The CS-80 currently resides at the KSR workshop, where it is available for demo (upon request).

Packing & Shipping:

We can ship this instrument worldwide, although the packing, shipping & insurance costs are not included in the sale price below, so are subject to quotation. Having shipped many CS-80 all over the world, we would recommend having it custom crated and palletised for shipping, which we can organise through our specialist suppliers. We are happy to discuss your requirements, so please email us if you have any questions on the logistics and/or need a quote.

Sales Price: £45,000 GBP

As this is a brokered sale, VAT is not applicable on the sale to UK buyers. However, packing & shipping/insurance is subject to VAT @ 20% should you need the goods shipped to you.

Availability:

This CS-80 is no longer available for sale: This listing was updated on 21st December 2022 @ 10:52 GMT.

If you require specific pictures not already featured of the instrument, then please contact us so we can try and accommodate your request.

Moog Prodigy

posted by rlawson3

We are Brokering this instrument for and on behalf of our UK client.

Came into stock: Came into stock in July 2022.

Service Status:

A full health check by KSR was carried out in July 2022. A detailed service will be carried out once the unit is sold, adding around 14 days to the post-sale completion.

Remarks:

A lot of Moogyness in a small package; the Prodigy punches well above its weight in terms of what an analogue synth can and should sound like, and we love them!

This example is a late EU version with the full complement of CV/Gate I/O on the rear panel – Model 3368X.

Background:

This late-model example was purchased brand new on 9th January 1982 (we have the sales receipt!) by our client and has been kept at his home all this time, so a single owner only – that’s rare in itself! It’s been packed away unused for a few years, so Kent at KSR did carry out a full health check in July, and he passed it as perfect, but it will be subject to a full post-sale service to cover things like recapping the power supply.

Condition:

The cosmetic condition of the control surfaces and keys is excellent, with just some small signs of wear to the lacquer on the wood cabinet. You can see from the pictures that this Prodigy is fully 100% intact, has all its original knobs & slider caps, and the felt under the knobs is all in excellent condition. Our client did implement a small modification to VCO2, which you can see in one of the images below. This minor modification provides voltage control of Oscillator 2 by the Modulation Wheel (and hence LFO) and/or the Envelope Contour (the one dedicated to the filter rather than the VCA). As such, the modification is primarily for use when Oscillator Sync engages and provides some really unique sounds.

The Prodigy is a EU220V version and will supply the synth with a UK-type IEC cable. We also have the original colour-printed owner’s manual,

Packing & Shipping:

We can ship this instrument worldwide, although the packing, shipping & insurance costs are not included in the sale price below, so are subject to quotation. 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 on the logistics and/or need a quote.

Sales Price:

£1,470 GBP

As this is a brokered sale, VAT is not applicable on the sale of this Prodigy to UK buyers. However, packing & shipping/insurance is subject to VAT @ 20% should you need the goods shipped to you.

Roland Jupiter 6

posted by rlawson3

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

Coming into stock: Came into stock in July 2022.

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.

This Jupiter 6 is sold through RL Music with a 3-month warranty and operates on EU 220V. The is supplied with an IEC power cable (UK 3-pin type).

Packing & Shipping:

We can ship this JP6 worldwide, although the packing, shipping & insurance costs are not included in the sale price below, so are subject to quotation. 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.

Andromeda A6

posted by rlawson3

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

Coming into stock: Came into stock on July 2022.

Servicing Status: KSR have already carried out a full service on this A6 in July 2022;

Remarks: This more modern analogue synth, although over two decades old now (vintage yet?), has some serious curb appeal and could never be accused of lacking facility or punch.

The A6 is an inspired design by Alesis, but with production ceasing some years ago, the synth achieved cult status amongst synthesists, so another great synth for the halls of fame and used by too many artists to list.

The current owner has owned the A6 for only a few short years and only ever used it at home (smoke & pet free etc.), so the cosmetic and operational condition of the A6 is pristine. We sold this A6 to our customer back in 2018, so we know this machine’s quality is very high.

Running on OS: Version 1.40.12
Build Date: 4th December 2002

Our customer purchased one of the excellent quality Stardust synth covers for the A6 (pictured below), which is included in the sale.

Kent at KSR has gone through the A6, checking the power supply, the operational functions/switches, memory etc., and deep cleaning all the potentiometers, so there are no ‘jumping’ encoders, which is a known weakness of these machines. As you can see from our photos, it’s cosmetically like new.

This Andromeda A6 is sold through RL Music with a 3-month warranty and can operate on US 110V or EU 220V. The A6 is supplied with an IEC power cable (UK 3-pin type).

Packing & Shipping:

We can ship this A6 worldwide, although the packing, shipping & insurance costs are not included in the sale price below, so are subject to quotation. 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: £2,850 GBP.

Availability: This Andromeda A6 is now SOLD. THis listing was updated on 28th October 2022 @ 11:21 GMT.

Moog Prodigy

posted by rlawson3

We are Brokering this instrument for and on behalf of our UK client.

Came into stock:

February 2022.

Service Status:

A full health check by KSR was carried out in February 2022, but a detailed service will be carried out once the unit is sold, which will add around 14 days to the post-sale completion.

Remarks:

It’s always a pleasure to be able to offer a Moog Prodigy, they’re like having an old friend to visit. This is a really super monosynth, full of thick sonic Moogy-ness, and punches well over its weight for such a little machine.

This example is a late EU version with the full complement of CV/Gate I/O on the rear panel – Model 3368X.

Background:

This late-model example was purchased brand new in 1981 by our client and has been kept at his home all this time, so a single owner only – that’s rare in itself! It’s been packed away unused for a few years, so Kent at KSR did carry out a full health check and attend a couple of minor items that need attention, but he passed it as fit for sale, but it will be subject to a full post-sale service.

Condition:

The cosmetic condition of the control surfaces and keys is excellent with just some small signs of wear to the lacquer on the wood cabinet. It’s quite possible to have the wood taken back and re-stained & waxed if you wanted but we think it’s best to actually leave it as-is, as it’s not damaged but just showing a little ageing….it’s 41 years old after all.

You can also see from the pictures we took that this Prodigy is fully 100% intact, so has all its original knobs & slider-caps, and the felt under the knobs is all in excellent condition.

Health-Check & Servicing:

As mentioned above, this system has been through the hands of Kent at KSR as a pre-sales health check, but we will have the Prodigy fully checked again post-sale and any service items needed will be applied.

The Prodigy is a EU220V version and will supply the synth with a UK type IEC cable. We also have the original colour-printed owner’s manual, and a PDF scanned copy of the warranty card from Moog for this particular instrument. The owner has the original warranty card still so we can ask them to post that on to the new owner post-sale.

Packing & Shipping:

We can ship this instrument worldwide, although the packing, shipping & insurance costs are not included in the sale price below, so are subject to quotation. 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.

Sales Price:
