We are Brokering this Arp 2600 + 3604-p keyboard for and on behalf of our UK client.<\/p>\n
Came into stock:<\/b>\u00a0Available from RL Music from July 2024<\/p>\n
Servicing Status:<\/b>\u00a0 <\/span>A full service was carried out by Kent Spong at KSR in July 2024.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Remarks:<\/b><\/p>\n We present the excellent condition vintage Arp 2600 semi-modular which contains the sought after (and so-called) pre-lawsuit Moog 4012 style filter. This instrument is at least 50 years old (built between 1972 to 1974) looks beautifully vintage and sounds absolutely amazing.<\/p>\n This Arp 2600 is a version 2600P v3.0, with original 4012 Filter + 3604P Keyboard controller. It features Semi-normalised – 3 VCOs (type 4027-1), 4 pole Lowpass VCF, VCA, Ring Modulator, 2 EGs, sample & hold Noise, Mic Preamp, 17 inch Spring Reverb, Voltage Processor and Four Octave Keyboard….the list goes on.<\/p>\n This Arp system has been in the ownership of our client\u2019s family for many years but had been stored for quite a while, so KSR was commissioned to carry out a complete overhaul to get it up to spec and ready for sale through us. Details of the work carried out as follows:<\/p>\n Cosmetic Condition:<\/b><\/p>\n The control surfaces\/panels on the synth & keyboard has been deep cleaned and are in outstanding condition and retain all original slider-caps and controls. To retain authenticity. It looks like the cabinets\/lids for both the synth and keyboard have been re-tolexed at some point in the past, and the condition of that tolex is excellent. The Tolexing was not done by KSR, but whomever carried it out was certainly skilled as it\u2019s been very well cared out. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The bright-work (nickel-plated components like catches and hinges) are all original and all show a perfectly aged patina.<\/p>\n Notes on the Servicing:<\/b><\/p>\n Kent at KSR has gone through the entire synth and keyboard. As may original parts were retained to ensure continuity and authenticity but some ageing components like power conditioning caps have been replaced, but only were absolutely necessary. all the sliders and potentiometers had been deep cleaned and a full function test of every PCB.\u00a0 <\/span>There was a fault on one of the (potted)\u00a0 <\/span>4027-1 VCO\u2019s, which is why it is un-potted (see photos on the circuit boards below), but that has been fixed using NOS parts.<\/p>\n The keyboard was stripped and completely overhauled, and new neoprene bushes fitted etc.<\/p>\n The original 3604P keyboard is certainly useful, and is the historically correct partner for this model of 2600. The 3604-P offers limited access to the extensive inputs into the main synth, so to get the most out of the 2600 we would recommend using a multi-channel Midi to CV device like the Kenton Pro-2000 which can give you 3 note polyphonic control if needed, although any 1V\/Oct analogue controller\/sequencer etc., will work fine.<\/p>\n This is a fantastic opportunity to buy one of the most iconic vintage synths ever made with its, completely original control surface cosmetics, unmodified and paired synth and keyboard. The sales price has been agreed with our client to keep it very competitive and by far the best value example in the UK and Europe at the time of posting this page.<\/p>\n These outstanding vintage semi-modular synthesizers are hard to find in decent condition, so here is a rare opportunity to own an original example that will only appreciate in value and add something special to your studio\/home.<\/p>\n Supplied with all lids, some assorted OE 3.5mm jacks, OE keyboard CV\/Gate interconnect cable and UK type- to-3-pin proprietary power-cable. The Arp runs on EU 220~240V.\u00a0 <\/span>We also supply an Arp 2600 owners manual (PDF).<\/p>\n All our vintage instruments are sold with a 3 months warranty, please see our Terms & Conditions for full details.<\/p>\n Price:<\/b> \u00a38,990 GBP<\/p>\n Availability:<\/b> This Arp 2600 & 3604-P Keyboard Controller are available for sale now.<\/p>\n Click on the thumbnails for higher resolution photos of actual synth for sale.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
