This example is a visually striking and largely complete vintage unit with a substantial amount of professional restoration work already undertaken, but it is not fully functional and is therefore being sold strictly as-is.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is an ideal opportunity for a collector, studio owner, or experienced synth technician looking to acquire a very scarce PS-3100 at a lower entry price than a fully sorted example.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eService work already carried out\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccording to the accompanying service report, the following work has been completed:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2 x CD4069 ICs replaced\u003cbr\u003e20 x JRC4558 ICs replaced\u003cbr\u003e100 x 1uf 25v Vishay tantalum capacitors replaced\u003cbr\u003e32 x Switchcraft mono sockets replaced\u003cbr\u003e12 x MM5824N-compatible voice divider ICs replaced\u003cbr\u003e10 x electrolytic capacitors replaced\u003cbr\u003eF key sourced from Japan and fitted\u003cbr\u003eExtensive labour including clean-up, keybed work, dry joint repair, oscillator PCB rebuilding and testing\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe report states that approximately 75 hours of labour have already gone into the instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eImportant condition note\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlease note that the service report also records remaining unresolved issues, potentially including:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003epitch bend circuit\u003cbr\u003ekeyboard issues\u003cbr\u003eoutputs including VCA1\u003cbr\u003epatching system\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese faults still require diagnosis and repair.
