WE (me and my wife) OFFER SOMETHING THAT NO ONE ELSE IS OFFERING! When you buy from us, you get a gear that: has been FULLY INSPECTED/SERVICED, is FULLY FUNCTIONAL (unless stated otherwise), has been FULLY DETAILED AND SANITIZED, and comes with NO SURPRISES! After you buy (before shipping), WE DO A FINAL INSPECTION (while taking a video as proof) making sure everything is still as it should be. Then WE PACK IT PROFESSIONALLY (preventing damages from occurring during its journey), and ALWAYS PURCHASE SHIPPING INSURANCE (unless not available) to protect both party’s investment/for peace of mind. Also, WE RECYCLE / (if possible) RE-USE EVERYTHING, to help reduce our carbon foot-print. IF YOU LOVE SYNTHS, PLEASE BE SURE TO CHECK OUT MY OTHER LISTINGS, AND MAYBE SHARE WITH FRIENDS/FOLLOW? Your support would give me the fuel to continue my mission, which is to bring as many of these old beauties back to life as possible, and preserve these treasures for the future generations. Also, I have a list of some of my favorite keyboards available for sale at the bottom of this ad; be sure to check it out. SERVICE HISTORY: I am sure that if you are looking at this item, you know everything about it. So, I will first tell you about this particular gem: IT HAS JUST BEEN FULLY INSPECTED/SERVICED AND IS READY FOR A NEW HOME! The following services were just done, which cost me over $250! IF you find another one for less than what mine is selling for, and since most of the used ones out there, that are supposed to be "fully functional", turn out NOT to be; you will then need to find someone who would work on these (which is very rare nowadays), and then who knows how much it would cost to make it fully functional??! CONDITION IS EVERYTHING!

BE SURE TO CHECK OUT THE VIDEO; IT'S FUN! 😜 (Please keep in mind that the video is just a generic one from YouTube, and is not made by me, or this particular keyboard. 🙂) READ ALL ABOUT THIS DEVICE BELOW! (under "some specs from the web") THIS WOULD MAKE AN AMAZING GIFT FOR ALL OCCASIONS, INCLUDING CHRISTMAS, BIRTHDAY, ANNIVERSARY... 😉 Please feel free to ask me any questions; I will try my best to find the answers for you. Also, let me know if you need any more pictures. Thank you, Kevin P.s. I PACK SAFE and SHIP FAST! A VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aF2BEi5CXo8 WHY BUY FROM ME? (full version) When you're buying a vintage (or just a used) car, does the condition matter? Of course it does! 😊 Are two used cars that are the same make and model the same? Would all similar (year, make and model) cars sell at the same price? No; there are many factors that would decide what price they fetch. Mileage, body, functionality, extra options, service history, past use... and one of the most important ones is CONDITION, which is everything! That is the reason a factory certified used Mercedes, fetches at least $4000 more, than the one you'd buy from a private seller you find on Craigslist.😊That's why when it comes to buying a used car, price is not everything... And buying a secondhand synthesizer, is no different than purchasing a vintage or used car. Yes, I'm proud of my children for sure. Mainly because when it comes to used keyboards and synths (just like used cars), condition is EVERYTHING! I have searched hard, hand-picked and collected only the best of the best that are in pristine condition (majority of them); and then had them professionally inspected, serviced/repaired (if needed), reprogrammed/restored (if needed), detailed... There's definitely value in that. On average, I spend about 5 hours on every single keyboard, before offering it for sale, and if they're not serviced, or if they don't pass the inspection, I DON’T SELL THEM! I believe in selling ONLY high-quality items, to ensure that my clients are very happy with their purchase, which produces repeats, referrals and customers for life! 😁Not to mention the professional musicians that need to count on their instrument's reliability, as their livelihood depends on it. I have the biggest respect/admiration for the professional musicians, and want them to have peace of mind when they step on the stage… In contrast, when it comes to USED GEAR FROM OTHER SOURCES, including the major retailers, you'd have to keep your fingers crossed until it arrives... And most often, they are NOT WHAT THEY WERE DESCRIBED TO BE, and most often, there is something wrong with the gear (as I am sure you, just like me, have experienced many times before). And often enough turn into headaches or heartaches... However, you can rest assured, that if you buy from me, you will get a fully functional gear, and you'll get to see tons of details and pictures, before making up your mind! 🙂 No retailer would service them prior to the sale (they don’t even wipe it down!), as it costs an additional $300-$400! Not to mention finding a Synth Tech is extremely difficult/costly nowadays! And that is what I do, as a labor of love! I do this because I really enjoy ANYTHING and EVERYTHING about synthesizers! Buying, selling, fixing, collecting, playing...I just love them! 😍 And finally, CUSTOMER SERVICE, which is also one of the major factors in retail/buying. I try my very best to provide everyone with the best possible service and experience; a fun one!I do this in a timely manner, even/specially after the sale, which is often where most sellers disappear, or just don't care/reply... Also, I am a HUGE believer in preserving, not just synthesizers (especially vintage!), but also our planet! So, I recycle EVERYTHING, and re-use as many parts as I can (fully functioning parts from donors), to help reduce our carbon foot-print. If you've made it this far on this very long scroll 😄, you have my biggest thank you! A LITTLE ABOUT ME: I am a 46-year-old, with a degree in Electronics Engineering, who LOVES Synthesizers, sounds, Music, and Electronics in general. Even though I do not work in the Electronics industry; I have always loved/adored it, never separated from it; and as a hobby, I collect and restore them; and sometimes sell them to make room for others... I've been around Synthesizers for over three decades, have serviced/restored hundreds of them, and have hundreds of the rarest/most sought-after synthesizers/keyboards available for sale. (which is one of the largest selections of used synthesizers found in one place!) SOME SPECS FROM THE WEB: (The following information is from the web, and not my words, so I cannot guarantee the accuracy of the statements, but believe them to be accurate, to the best of my limited knowledge on this instrument) 61-note single manual combo organ with enhanced Virtual ToneWheel technology Cool waterfall keyboard with velocity-sensitive keys plays like classic organs-great for glissandos Sophisticated rotary speaker modeling with overdrive effect Traditional panel layout: 9 harmonic drawbars, vibrato/chorus knob and new Percussion button D-Beam controller with Preset templates for more expressive performance New orchestral voices for a wider sonic palette (e.g. piano, strings, choir, etc.) Onboard reverb and chorus effects 2 MIDI inputs for connecting a MIDI keyboard or optional PK-7 pedalboard-enjoy full polyphony while playing pedals and keys! Authentic solid wood cabinet and vintage keys Enhanced Virtual ToneWheel Sound The VK-8 uses the same enhanced Virtual ToneWheel technology of its big brother, the dual-manual VK-77—giving it that warm, rich sound characteristic of yesterday’s classic organs. Choose from three different tone wheel types: Vintage 1, Vintage 2 and Clean. Then dial in your sound with the VK-8’s nine harmonic bars, conveniently located to the left of the keyboard. New Waterfall Keyboard One look at the VK-8’s new waterfall keyboard and you’ll feel right at home. The 61-note single-manual keyboard has a distinct, aged look like an old friend. Put your hands on the keys and you’ll discover they feel just as good—smooth to the touch and with just the right amount of resistance for performing traditional organ effects like glissandos. Rotary Speaker Modeling and Beyond… The VK-8 takes rotary speaker modeling to a whole new extreme, using proprietary COSM technology to “model” not only the unique sound of a rotary speaker, but the construction of tube amp circuits, actual speaker cabinet characteristics and its natural ambience. Such attention to detail is what gives the VK-8 its superior sound. (A killer overdrive effect doesn’t hurt either.) Back to the Future While classic organ sounds are the foundation of the VK-8, players will also appreciate having high-quality instrument sounds including electric/acoustic pianos, strings, bass and choir—even jazz scat voices and synths. There’s also a futuristic D-Beam controller, which lets you create effects from tonewheel motor stops to the shock sound of spring reverb using an infrared beam of light. Cool Combos With two MIDI inputs, you can connect an external MIDI keyboard or an optional PK-7 pedalboard, which allows you to “kick” bass while playing chords and leads. And when paired up with the KC-1000 Stereo Mixing Keyboard Amplifier, you’ll get powerful, rich output—thanks to a 310-watt, 7-speaker system with unique RSS ambient effects, split-frequency compression and ultra-realistic tone cabinet reverberation.
