Servicing Status:<\/strong> Full restoration by KSR has been completed.<\/p>\n

Remarks: <\/strong> We are delighted to offer you another rare opportunity to own a vintage (manufactured 1974) EMS VCS3 Mk2.<\/p>\n

We have already undertaken and extensive professional restoration on this instrument, so this is available for sale now.<\/p>\n

The restoration included:<\/p>\n

>Strip-down of every component, panels, cabinet
\n>Original wood cabinet to be stripped back to bare wood and re-finished by hand.
\n>Control Panels stripped, re-painted and re-screen printed to ‘as new’ condition.
\n>Every control component (potentiometers\/switches\/matrix & pins) stripped, cleaned & lubricated..
\n>Power-Supply & distribution PCB have been re-capped & calibrated.
\n>System-wide calibration implemented in line with EMS guidelines.<\/p>\n

Inevitably, there were some parts that needed replacement (mostly ageing capacitors), which we worked with EMS in the supply of genuine parts, to keep the authenticity intact. Aside the meticulous cosmetic work, the objective of the restoration it to retain as much of the original integrity of the instrument character, thus the vintage nature\/sound of the synth is 100% kept intact. Naturally, the presentation is stunning and offers an excellent investment if you have been looking for a very special example for your own collection.<\/p>\n

The VCS3 Mk2 is a \u2018collector grade\u2019 instrument. The VCS3 runs on EU 220V and is supplied with the power-cable and a full compliment of Matrix Pins.<\/p>\n
