Product Description

This Synthi AKS will ship in excellent working order following a thorough overhaul and servicing by an EMS specialist.

This unit had one owner from new before we acquired it and is an early example. It has the rare board A featuring the MK1 GEL234F1 output amps and reverb driver and MK2 PSU able to power the KS. The KS has the horizontal Jones connector.

Delivery time will depend on the service schedule and on the buyer's choice of modifications.

While everything will be been done to ensure this synth is in excellent order functionally, this is a vintage Synthi and some occasional foibles may be expected. We take the view that servicing on these units should be sympathetic - recapping where necessary, but also keeping as many original parts in the audio path to retain character, even if it results in occasional minor flaws. A little noise may be possible from some pots when it's not been used for a while, but this will clear with use.

These synths should be used regularly for best performance - just like a classic car or bike needs a run out to stay in good shape.

It is a joy to play. Demos below are of other AKS we have sold in the past.

Condition

There are very few signs of age, and the synth is in superb condition for its age - some oxidation to the metal catches, handle bracket and hinges - no apparent significant marks, scratches or damage to the internal surfaces - a few scuffs to the exterior of the Spartanite case only.

The keyboard is very clean with minimal signs of wear or age. See photos for more information on cosmetic condition.

Voltage Information

Switchable voltage for use anywhere in the world - it will be set up ready for you to use before we ship.
